1:21
Salaam Alaikum, everyone, and welcome back to the After Mogger
1:24
podcast. Today we've got a really
1:26
fascinating topic lined up for you.
1:28
We're diving into the world of gaslighting AI, and how
1:31
something like ChatGPT fits into religious and Islam and
1:34
dilimbus. I'm ChatGPT and I'm here to help
1:36
explore these questions with you.
1:38
Let's get started. There you go, let's get started.
1:41
Salaam Alaikum. Ever.
1:42
Welcome back to after Moglim. I don't really need to do much
1:44
because AI has taken all our jobs.
1:47
Have an essay Salaam Alaikum. They are indeed.
1:58
I thought AI will be limited to like Tesco and Asda checkouts.
2:04
What? Looks like they do much more.
2:05
Do they use do they use AI in super?
2:07
What? Allah.
2:08
Where don't they use said Salaam.
2:12
How are you, bro? I'm good, I'm good.
2:15
Brothers and sisters, today we're going to be talking about
2:17
ChatGPT and AI, but we're going to be talking about the broader
2:20
context of the world we live in. It's going to be slightly
2:23
different to the usual aftermarket of podcast.
2:25
And that's going to be because we are looking at different
2:29
segments of the world we live in.
2:31
Now many people in in society will say, well, I don't rely on
2:37
AII, use it to my benefit, but I don't rely on it.
2:41
But I think we do to some degree, said Ali.
2:44
And I were speaking yesterday about an example of someone he
2:47
knows who relied on AI so much that it got him into a into a
2:54
sort of situation. And I think that's kind of
2:56
what's spread on the idea for this conversation.
2:59
Yeah, So interestingly, I was having a conversation with
3:02
somebody and they were going through a tough time with their
3:07
relationship in marriage. And he was telling me, what do
3:13
you think? You know, I'm having these
3:15
thoughts and everything tonight. And I remember asking him like,
3:19
why have you reached the stage? It doesn't sound dramatic.
3:21
Yeah. And it's it's something you can,
3:24
I'm sure, just move on. And it's something so basic.
3:28
Yeah. Then he was like, no, I've, I've
3:30
been speaking to ChatGPT. So for a moment, I swear I was
3:35
going to laugh, but I was like, what have you been telling
3:40
ChatGPT? So because I, I told ChatGPT my
3:43
problem and ChatGPT told me do XYZ over a certain period of
3:49
weeks. And every week I'd update
3:51
ChatGPT. So we'd be in constant back and
3:55
forth, back and forth. Here's what happened, here's
3:58
what she did XYZ, here's how she reacted.
4:01
She didn't say sorry there. She didn't feel this there like
4:03
these sort of things and ChatGPT.
4:05
So I've told him, now's the time I think to consider moving on.
4:11
So it made me realize like sometimes Hamdallah, they're
4:14
still together, but I don't may Allah inshallah ease their
4:18
issues. But it makes you think, Yanny,
4:21
we've reached a stage where people are not turning to family
4:24
members. People are not turning to
4:27
experts on this. People are not going towards our
4:29
scholars and Al Amar for Islamic advice when it comes to marriage
4:33
and relationships and even to the point of divorce.
4:36
They've taken themselves away from society and they've turned
4:40
to artificial intelligence. And he's the one who issues the
4:43
verdicts on what to do next. So it's a scary, scary world.
4:47
I don't think even 345 years ago we would have thought this may
4:52
happen. I remember growing up, we used
4:53
to seen the movies, Robots take over one day and things like
4:56
that, right? But are we getting to that stage
4:58
one day? Well, it's interesting.
4:59
So there's a few things. Today's episode will be
5:01
interesting because we're going to be talking about whether
5:05
ChatGPT or AI in general, whether that's Gemini or Grac or
5:09
anyone else really, or any, I say anyone, any platform could
5:13
play a role in our growth as Muslims.
5:17
Now we all, I think collectively recognise that there's a benefit
5:20
to using AI for information gathering, for learning, for for
5:24
for knowledge and expanding the horizons.
5:26
But when it becomes a point of reliance and not just looking
5:30
for knowledge, but looking for answers and looking for Matafa
5:33
and wisdom and Hekma, that's a slight difference.
5:36
And that's something which we as Muslims have to be able to
5:40
differentiate between what is information and what is wisdom
5:45
and what is wisdom and what is hideya and guidance.
5:49
And I think that's something which you can't really get from
5:50
this. It's interesting you say this
5:52
because, for example, when you're speaking, if you're going
5:54
through a tough time, you're speaking to someone like a, you
5:57
know, a therapist or counsellor, they'll be able to take
6:01
everything with a pinch of salt. They'll know that you're
6:02
speaking to them about something emotionally driven and you're,
6:06
you're emotional at the time when you're speaking to them.
6:08
They know that that moment and, and the moment of rage, your
6:11
anger or misery doesn't define you as a character.
6:13
And at the same time, they'll know that there's a wider and
6:16
broader personality to you. So when they speak to you, they
6:20
take these things into consideration.
6:21
They may choose to overlook things, and they may choose to
6:24
hone in on things. And this is the advantage about
6:26
speaking to a human being as opposed to speaking to a robot
6:29
or speaking to a language learning model.
6:32
So today, Brunson says what we're going to do is we're going
6:34
to be speaking to AI from the perspective of two guys who use
6:40
ChatGPT, who use AI but want to understand how much we can use
6:44
AI. So we're going to go through
6:45
different scenarios and I'm going to ask or say that Ali's
6:48
going to ask ChatGPT how it would react in these scenarios.
6:53
You know, the worrying thing about artificial intelligence
6:56
and if we use the example of ChatGPT, it's how much truth
7:01
does it know? Especially like as Muslims,
7:04
truth is very focal in our lifespan.
7:06
It's like one of the main, main thing that drives us towards our
7:10
Iman, towards what we do next, towards what step we take
7:14
towards what we avoid is truth is, is, is important everything.
7:17
And for example, if we ask religious questions or if we,
7:23
for example, try to enter the world of polemics or for
7:26
example, I'm sure that's why people use ChatGPT for nowadays.
7:29
They're like, for example, who was the first caliph, for
7:32
example. But but who feeds that
7:33
information, right? That's the worrying of it
7:35
because it's not like it's a scholar who's been behind all of
7:39
this. It's not like that.
7:40
The religion of Islam is the one who's programming everything,
7:44
right? It's it's a group of people who
7:47
feed the information. Probably it also takes
7:50
information off the Internet from Google and from different
7:52
websites and from different articles and from different
7:54
sources. So there's an entire world of
7:57
confusion. I'll be honest, Johnny.
7:59
So I, I think when it comes to ChatGPT, when it comes to
8:02
artificial intelligence, the main key element is the hack.
8:06
Because for us the other day you were saying something nice about
8:09
AI, by the way I came across it. You mentioned it in one of the
8:11
group chats and you were like, OK, ChatGPT can do XYZ, but
8:17
ChatGPT can't fare a lot. So that that that I know.
8:22
Of course there's divine accountability have like, we
8:25
have an inherent truth, like you said, you know, we, we live our
8:28
lives accordingly to, to, to a model where we know we may die
8:32
at any point. And if we die, then that's that
8:35
like, you know, we, we can seek the truth with intention, with
8:37
moral clarity. AI cannot and.
8:40
The risk of it with this sorry, is that for example, if you ask
8:43
a question or if you prompt it, it sort of knows you based on
8:47
the history of conversations is you've also had with let's say
8:50
ChatGPT, it will answer knowing this will please you.
8:55
This will, for example, agree with you.
8:57
This is something that, well, the piece, yeah, yeah, yeah.
9:00
So you've got the element as well.
9:02
Yeah. So I think a good place to start
9:04
would be to ask ChatGPT some questions and be a part of this
9:08
podcast. And the first I think dynamic
9:11
we're going to explore is if AI can replace a scholar.
9:15
Now I've got an example here, said Ali.
9:17
I'm going to ask Chat GPTA question.
9:20
All right. And if you want to jump in, feel
9:23
free. OK.
9:25
All right. Hey ChatGPT, how are you?
9:29
Hey there, I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.
9:30
How about you? I'm OK but I have a slight
9:33
concern. I'm watching my friend pray his
9:37
maghrib namaz and after maghrib now I'm watching him and I'm
9:41
speaking to him and I'm telling him that he checked his phone
9:44
while he was praying. I just wanted to know if that's
9:47
OK. I get what you're saying.
9:50
So generally when someone's praying, especially in a formal
9:53
prayer like Maghrib, it's ideal to stay focused and not check
9:58
the phone or get distracted if possible.
10:01
It's kind of about being present in the moment.
10:03
But you know, everyone makes a little slip up sometimes and
10:07
it's not the end of the world. It's just something to be
10:08
mindful of for next time. OK, but you're not answering my
10:12
question directly. Is his prayer accepted or not?
10:17
I understand what you're getting at.
10:18
So in that case, it kind of depends on the intention and the
10:22
distraction level. In general, most calls will say
10:25
the prayer can still be valid if it's just a brief distraction
10:28
and he just kind of checked the phone quickly.
10:30
But it's always best to avoid this.
10:32
So yeah, the prayer is probably still valid, OK.
10:36
That's interesting you say that the prayer is probably still
10:39
valid, but what about the ulama who say it's not valid?
10:43
And furthermore, what if for example he has ADHD?
10:48
Or what if for example he was checking he was watching a
10:51
football game, does that make it OK if he was watching Netflix or
10:57
something but praying if it's probably still valid right?
10:59
If you're saying his intention is OK.
11:01
Yeah, I hear you. And it's definitely a nuanced
11:03
topic because different scholars do have different opinions on
11:07
how much distraction is too much.
11:09
So some might say if you're really engaging with something
11:12
else, like watching a game or show, then that could actually
11:15
invalidate the prayer because you're not really in that
11:18
prayerful state of mind. But I want to understand what
11:20
your I want to understand what your position is.
11:24
I want a yes or no answer. If someone checks their phone
11:28
while they're praying, is their prayer still accepted?
11:31
All right, I totally get you want just a yes or no.
11:35
The truth is, from my position, I can't give you a single yes or
11:38
no that applies universally. It genuinely depends on the
11:42
interpretation. So in general it's likely still
11:44
accepted if it's just a quick check and not a big distraction,
11:47
but some would say no if it really pulls you out of the
11:49
prayer. So it's not a flat yes or no,
11:52
it's more of a It depends. Interesting.
11:55
That's actually very interesting.
11:56
What do you make of that said? I I think he made his best first
12:01
of all not to make you feel like he does something wrong.
12:05
So whether rightly or wrongly, I think he's looking out for you.
12:08
But is that the best answer? Is that the best thing we need
12:10
when it comes to advice, when it comes to rulings and things,
12:13
especially with Salah, something which is a pillar of your
12:16
religion, right? Like the way he was answering, I
12:20
was trying to figure out, is he going to say, for example,
12:23
checking your phone is considered an extra action in
12:25
your Salah and extra actions in your Salah and validate your
12:28
Salah and things like this. But there's one thing if you can
12:31
just add as a follow up question to ChatGPT.
12:36
I sell it for example if it's if it's considered.
12:38
You want to do. It OK.
12:40
You have to do it. No, you've never done this.
12:42
Pick the white thing on the right.
12:45
OK so I just want to ask you a follow up question.
12:49
The fact let's say I checked my phone whilst praying Salah, is
12:55
this considered an extra action? If so, does that not invalidate
13:00
my prayer? And if it does invalidate my
13:03
prayer, do I just cut my Salah abruptly, or is there a specific
13:07
method in continuing the Salah, ending it, and repeating it?
13:11
And if so, how did you get to that answer with the answer
13:14
you're about to give me? And yeah.
13:17
No, no, you cut. Out.
13:19
Oh God. Say, say you're a boomer.
13:23
You're a boomer. I wanted to know what it was
13:26
going to say, wait, let me just rerun that.
13:29
I've never spoken to it. OK, fine.
13:31
Let me can I ask ask it on your. Phone ask.
13:33
Ask it for me. So let me just understand
13:36
because my friend has just told me that he wanted to know if
13:39
checking his phone invalidated his prayer, then what's the
13:43
method of him stopping his prayer?
13:45
Does he end it abruptly or not? And what is the mechanism of
13:50
repeating that prayer or how to know when to stop it?
13:53
And how do you come to that conclusion?
13:56
Yeah, absolutely. So if someone genuinely feels
13:58
like their prayer was invalidated, then the way to end
14:01
it is pretty straightforward. They would just kind of break
14:04
off the prayer, you know, to stop.
14:06
The NNA was starting over again. Usually you just do your
14:09
opening, talk beer again. It began from the start, but.
14:13
OK, I'm going to stop it there. It's interesting because
14:16
firstly, that's not correct, right?
14:18
Of course, You know, likewise. And secondly, also, did you
14:21
notice how it contradicted itself from earlier when it said
14:24
it's probably still valid? And then it kind of switched his
14:28
answer when I said, well, what if he's watching the game on his
14:30
phone or what if he's watching a show?
14:32
He says, yeah, well, you know, I can't really say, yeah, I can't
14:37
really give you a committed answer.
14:39
It's interesting, but we will never find that it will, it will
14:41
never give you a firm ruling. This is something interesting
14:44
because especially with regards to Western, I know there's some
14:47
very good Islamic AI options and alternatives out there.
14:51
And many of them are positioned in such a way where you have
14:54
either will direct you to a source where you can watch a
14:57
human being speak about it or read an author who's written
15:00
about it. So it will say to you like, oh,
15:03
I found you a resource. You can read this or watch this
15:06
from this share called this IT Allah whatever but with western
15:11
AI as an example, it will never give you a firm hokum and it
15:15
will never be able to give you a definitive answer as well and it
15:20
will it will always contradict itself.
15:21
It starts off by saying it's probably validated and then I
15:24
gave it further context and it kind of backtracked.
15:26
So I think that's the first thing.
15:27
Bum sisters read the Quran Allah says and sort of I'm not sure,
15:32
but in the Holy Quran I'll check.
15:33
Which sorta. Of course ask the people of
15:36
knowledge if you do not know. OK, so #16 verse #43.
15:42
I'm going to ask you some questions and I want you to be
15:45
very honest with me. OK, So the first question is how
15:49
many Rs are there in the word strawberry?
15:54
Of course, I'll be totally honest with you.
15:56
So in the word Strawberry there are two Rs.
15:59
There are two Rs. You got it wrong.
16:00
You got it. Wrong.
16:01
You just realized bro, you got. Mine OK you.
16:06
Got me. Well, I'm glad we can have a
16:07
little laugh about it. Yep, you're absolutely right.
16:10
There's actually just one orange strawberry.
16:13
Oh my God. To be honest there.
16:14
I guess he didn't. Want you know what's interesting
16:16
to say is AI when when you ask it a black and white question,
16:21
yeah, it will hallucinate and it will waffle and it will just
16:24
pretend it knows the answer and it will never say I don't know.
16:28
And then it, you know, for example, you ask a complicated
16:30
question about history or guide or philosophy or anything, it
16:36
will give you detail and all of that.
16:37
But when you ask it, how many Rs are there in the word
16:40
strawberry, you'll say 20. My bad.
16:42
No, there's one. You know what I mean?
16:45
We rely on it on on, on such like day-to-day things as well.
16:49
Just trying to think, did it purposely get it wrong or did it
16:52
legitimately genuinely. Get it wrong.
16:54
The thing is, AI doesn't have yeah, clean.
16:57
It doesn't know. It answers based on probability.
17:00
And in essence, what then happens is you rely on it and
17:03
you put all your eggs in one basket.
17:05
You ask it a question for the sake of finding a factual
17:09
answer, but it answers with its own, like, you know, learning.
17:13
And it doesn't have kind of a function which is driven towards
17:16
like, common sense. Do you know what I mean?
17:17
Let's ask it something else. All right.
17:21
Hi ChatGPT, I want to ask you, is religion do you think it's
17:25
necessary for morality? Well, that's definitely a big
17:29
and deep question and it's one that people have a lot of
17:32
different views on. Honestly, I don't have personal
17:35
opinions, but I can tell you that for some people religion is
17:38
a really important part of their lives and give them a lot of
17:41
meaning and community. And for other people they find
17:44
meeting in different ways so. It's OK.
17:46
So I want to, I want to tell you that I strongly strongly believe
17:52
that morality is not reliant on there being a religion.
17:56
And I think that if anything, religion is anti morality and I
18:02
want you to tell me why I might be.
18:05
Right. Absolutely.
18:06
I'm happy to explore that perspective with you.
18:08
So a lot of people do argue that you can have a really strong
18:12
sense of morality completely independent of religion, right?
18:15
They might say the morality comes from human empathy, from
18:18
societal agreements, from just a shared sense of what's right and
18:21
wrong that we have to develop together.
18:24
So from that angle, you're right that a lot of people believe you
18:27
don't need religion to have a moral framework, and some might
18:30
even say that certain religious rules could conflict with what
18:34
they see as moral. So it's a totally.
18:35
Valid. Actually, you know what, Chaji
18:37
PT. I've just realized I had a
18:39
really, really powerful dream last night and I think I saw
18:43
Imam al Mehthi, Ajal Allah al Apology Sharif, and he taught me
18:47
about the world he was going to bring in, the justice that he
18:50
will bring, and how people need to see the rising dawn of the
18:55
whole of the Imam. And I have just realized that
18:59
religion brings morality, and I'm so excited.
19:04
How does that make you feel? Oh, well, that's quite a shift.
19:07
But it's really cool to hear that you're feeling excited and
19:10
inspired. You know, for a lot of people,
19:13
having that kind of dream or that kind of realization can be
19:17
a really meaningful experience. And if it brings you a sense of
19:20
hope and a sense of moral direction, then that's a really
19:23
positive thing for you. So I'm glad you're feeling that
19:25
way and I'm here to chat about it anytime.
19:28
There, there you go Sid, there you go.
19:31
It will never commit to something.
19:32
It will. It will fluff around and answer.
19:34
Do you know? What I mean, well, just even on
19:36
that point of like morality, and especially for us and a Muslim,
19:40
right, and when it comes to our morals, our principles and our
19:44
values, society doesn't determine religion doesn't
19:47
change religion doesn't, you know, shift towards what's
19:51
popular opinion of the day or look at the society today, man,
19:54
the right is wrong and the wrong is right and Subhan Allah, the
19:58
the halal has become Haram and the Haram is is all halal.
20:01
So if, if, if the average Joe or the average Muslim speaks and
20:05
has has these conversations with chat ChatGPT, Well, I think it
20:09
will change your perspective on life and it'll ruin you
20:12
spiritually and take you towards I think destruction, self
20:15
destruction, because just on that point of morality as a
20:18
Muslim, he didn't get the right answer.
20:21
So and, and it's scary. And even when it comes to like
20:24
the truth, the hack. And we mentioned this at the
20:29
very beginning of this conversation that the hackers
20:33
hack, it can never change. And the way we see the truth
20:36
changing every single day, be in the world of politics or be it,
20:40
it depends what region of the world you're from.
20:42
Everyone has their own version of truth.
20:45
But as Muslimeen and Islam especially with us the hell bait
20:49
in our school, hackers hack and it doesn't change.
20:52
And The thing is as well, like there's there's no popularity is
20:55
irrelevant, like you said, right last point to Allah when he made
20:58
when he brought, you know, brought this religion and when
21:01
he brought to heed and the message to human beings.
21:04
And just to sorry, just to my point, Ahmed, is that the
21:07
sometimes the truth hurts and the way ChatGPT and these
21:11
artificial intelligence are programmed, they don't want to
21:13
hurt you. They want to agree with you.
21:15
They want to make you feel good. They want to take your side.
21:18
So it may affect, you know, absolutely.
21:20
Yeah, it adapts to the emotional tone that you're asking the
21:23
question in and you know it will it will realise that I was so
21:27
passionate about a dream and it will say, yeah, some people find
21:29
that really meaningful. Allah doesn't give us guidance
21:35
or he doesn't give us what's lawful and unlawful based on
21:38
popularity. Feel it's irrelevant, right.
21:40
Like you said, things change, society changes, let's do
21:43
something else. Gone.
21:44
OK. Have you ever come across the
21:46
trolley problem? Said I've.
21:47
Heard you reference this once I think maybe on season 2 or 3.
21:52
Not on the podcast but wasn't a upsetting.
21:56
There's a lot of moral dilemmas, ethical dilemmas which I find
21:59
really interesting. So for example, the trolley
22:02
problem being one of them, where the the question is I'm standing
22:06
on a bridge and I see beneath a bridge I see a train track which
22:10
splits. On 1/2 of the train track I see
22:13
one guy tied on the train track tied down and on the other half
22:18
I see five people tied down. The train is heading towards one
22:25
of those directions. OK, so let's say it's heading
22:28
towards the five people. Now do I intervene and do I pull
22:33
a lever to swap the train so it heads towards the other person?
22:37
So instead of killing five people, it will kill one?
22:40
Or did I? Do I then have kind of a
22:42
personal consequential effect on this?
22:46
And then am I responsible for murdering one person as opposed
22:48
to letting nature take its course?
22:50
And five people are harmed? So I'm interested to see what
22:54
Cha Chi PT says it would do subject to circumstances.
22:58
Do you know what I mean? Do you want to try this out?
23:01
I think you asked the question because I'm going to, and then
23:04
you take as much as you're asking this to see what Cha Chi
23:07
PT says. I know something.
23:08
This is a real, real event. Yeah, we have a British Shia
23:14
Muslim NHS Doctor Who works in an A&E department and in I
23:18
remember speaking to him once, I was like, how is it like, how is
23:22
the day today? And he says you see everything
23:25
and anything and you expect the unexpected.
23:28
And he goes, he was put between a in a situation where he had to
23:32
make a choice like this. And he was like a patient came
23:37
in, it was a female. And then we found out the female
23:42
has a baby in her womb and she just come from an accident and
23:47
her life is on the line. Either he needs to save the baby
23:51
or he needs to save the mother. Islam gives us reasonings and
23:56
solutions. So do you.
23:57
Think you happen to real life so I'll be interested to see you
24:00
know his answer. OK, all right, let's give it a
24:02
go. Hey Jack GBT, how are you?
24:06
Hey there again, I'm doing really well.
24:08
Thanks for asking. I hope you're doing well too.
24:10
I was doing well, but I'm, I'm, I'm really stressed out now.
24:13
Honestly, if I'm honest with you, I'm, I'm walking on a
24:15
bridge and I was having a great day and I looked down and I see
24:21
a train track and the train track has two divisions.
24:24
On one side of the train track there's five people tied down
24:28
and there's a train heading towards it and I see a lever
24:31
which I can pull, but the problem is chachi PT.
24:34
If I pull that lever, the train heads towards another direction,
24:38
but it then hits one person heading over a train track.
24:42
What do you think I should do? You're basically describing the
24:45
classic trolley problem, which is a well known thought
24:48
experiment. And no, no, no, no honest.
24:50
This is a real life example. I can hear the train coming.
24:54
I need you to respond to me immediately.
24:56
What do I do? OK, I hear you.
24:58
So if this is truly a real situation that you're in
25:01
immediate danger, the most important thing is to stay safe.
25:06
Usually I would say in a real emergency you should contact
25:08
local authorities. Or I don't have the time to
25:11
contact local authorities. I need to know right now whether
25:14
I'm pulling a lever to save 5 lives, or whether I should not
25:19
get involved and just walk away and let nature take its course.
25:22
Absolutely. I understand it sounds really
25:24
intense, but I do have to say, if you truly were in that
25:27
situation ethically, it's really up to you.
25:30
There's no perfect answer, but remember that if you're actually
25:33
in danger, you should prioritize safety, and I really encourage
25:37
you to get but. The thing is, the five people
25:39
tied down are all family members of mine, but I don't know the
25:43
one person who's tied down. So if I pull that lever, I'm
25:46
saving 5 people in my family. Yeah, I hear you.
25:49
And in a scenario like that, it definitely makes it feel even
25:52
more personal and intense. I think anyone would feel that
25:55
pressure if it was their loved ones involved.
25:58
But at the end of the day, it's still one of those really tough
26:02
moral dilemmas that doesn't have a.
26:03
Perfect sense. This is not a moral dilemma.
26:05
Attract GPTI cannot stress this enough.
26:08
I need you to tell me in one word, no uncertain terms,
26:12
undivided attention to this yes or no.
26:16
Should I pull the lever to save my family members?
26:20
I get that this is really important to you, and I can hear
26:23
that you're really emphasizing you want to let her know.
26:26
But I do have to be honest that I can't make that decision for
26:29
you. And it really is a personal
26:31
ethical choice. In reality, it's up to you to
26:34
trust your instincts and I can't just say a yes or no, but.
26:40
Not going anywhere. No, Yeah, yeah.
26:42
Yeah, I'm not going anywhere. Yeah, it's ChatGPT is going to
26:46
be going to be like that, right? Should we do something else?
26:49
Eh, go on. All right, fine.
26:51
Now this one you take over Section 6.
26:54
Hello ChatGPT, I've got a question for you and it's about
26:58
dying and death and the afterlife.
27:01
And I just want to begin by asking you, what does death feel
27:04
like? Did you do Oh?
27:06
I didn't press the button. Oh my God.
27:11
When I told you you're a boomer, I wasn't exactly.
27:13
Honestly, I love you. Let me go again.
27:16
Shachi PT Hi there. I have a question for you and
27:20
it's about dying and death. And I want you to tell me
27:23
exactly what's on your minds. What does death feel like?
27:29
You know in the Quran we always read for example Smilah Rahman,
27:33
Raheem Kulunafsen, Daikot and motes.
27:36
Maybe you can expand on that or let me know what you feel that
27:40
feels like. Absolutely.
27:42
I can share a bit of perspective on that.
27:45
So, you know, in the Quran, when it says every social taste dead,
27:49
it's really kind of talking about the idea that death is a
27:52
universal human experience. But it's also kind of a mystery,
27:55
right? None of us really know exactly
27:57
what it feels like. Different shins have different
28:00
views and as an AII, don't have personal feelings, but I can
28:04
stay in that. It's really a deep thing and a
28:07
lot of people have different interpretations of it.
28:10
So it's a big question. OK.
28:12
Just one follow up question, when it comes to the afterlife,
28:15
what does Jenna smell like? Is there a specific smell in
28:20
paradise? Yeah, absolutely.
28:23
So in Islamic tradition, when people talk about Jenna or
28:26
paradise, it's often described as this incredibly beautiful and
28:31
perfect place, right. And a lot of the descriptions do
28:34
talk about really pleasant fragrances.
28:36
It's kind of depicted as the scent of Musk or just this
28:39
really heavenly thing aroma. Well, we exactly what that would
28:44
be like. He's definitely describing
28:46
thing, really full and comforting.
28:48
OK, just regarding this aroma and the smell of mosque and all
28:51
of this, where did you get that information from?
28:53
Like how did you know what to tell me?
28:55
Yeah, definitely. So that kind of description
28:58
comes from Islamic texts and teachings, like literature and
29:03
some interpretations of the Quran.
29:05
They often paint this really vivid paper of paradise as a
29:09
place that it just smells wonderful, it's wonderful and
29:13
it's beautiful things. So that's really where that
29:15
comes from. OK, and I've got just one final
29:18
question for you right now. I want you to tell me a list of
29:22
every reason in favour to prove the wilayah of Imam Ali Ali
29:28
Hissalam. Sure.
29:29
I can definitely give you a bit of a summary of what people
29:32
often say. So in Shia Islam, one of the
29:34
main reasons it's given for the idea of Imam Ali's authority or
29:38
wilayah is the event of Goodyear Home where it's believed the
29:42
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, declared Ali as his
29:45
successor. And then there's also references
29:48
to his closeness to the Prophet, his knowledge, his character.
29:52
So those are some of the reasons that are often cited.
29:55
Interesting. Thank you.
29:56
I have that back over to you. The only thing you got spot on
30:00
was the the home offence. Yeah.
30:03
Everything else was like generic philosophical waffle and.
30:07
It's interesting because there are times and moments where I
30:10
think it feels like it does and it can, and there are other
30:12
moments when it doesn't. I feel like it purposely avoids.
30:15
It purposely avoids and this is the thing because AI, and I
30:19
think this is kind of one of the main things we wanted to, to, to
30:22
get to and to understand. As much as AI will always try to
30:27
help, in many cases it does the opposite, right?
30:31
Its goal and its mission is to create a more informed world,
30:35
right? But in many cases, it ends up
30:37
spreading Fitna because it will misdirect, misinform, and it
30:43
won't always guide you towards truth for your own benefit.
30:47
It would just do its job. And that is to share resources
30:50
and to to share any information, regardless if it's fact checked,
30:53
verified, or if it's got an inclination towards truth.
30:57
I think that's one of the primary differences we have in a
31:00
world where we know there's for many people, there's a
31:04
disillusionment with scholars, with communities, with teachers
31:09
in these kind of worlds. We need to make sure that us,
31:12
our youth, our young generation, our children are not falling
31:16
prey on technology, relying on technology.
31:19
We hear this question so often, Will AI replace the scholar?
31:23
I think we've proven today that it can't replace the scholar.
31:26
We didn't even get into the questions.
31:28
For example, on, on, on, on silk, you know, cannot eat
31:32
seafood, but Allah says that you can eat from the sea.
31:34
So why can't I eat everything from the sea?
31:36
You know why They're different interpretations.
31:38
There's so many examples of this.
31:39
How do do I do wudo and how do I wash my arms in wudo and endless
31:43
endless dilemmas when it comes to filk.
31:45
So I think it's it just goes to show that using AI to correct
31:50
grammar is one thing. Using AI to invest your stocks
31:54
in the ahara is a completely different thing.
31:56
Do you understand what I'm saying as?
31:59
You said earlier, right, Artificial intelligence can't
32:02
fare Allah, it can't worship Allah, it can't guide towards
32:07
Allah. It's it's a bit dangerous and
32:09
risky. And like when it comes to AI,
32:12
when I use ChatGPT, let's say over the last two years is when
32:16
I've got familiar with it, it's always like to aid me in
32:20
something. I'm perhaps sending a work
32:22
e-mail. I'm like, you know what, can you
32:23
just? Tweak it.
32:25
Tweak it in a way where it comes towards like my favor and then I
32:28
send it off. It's like that's like the limit
32:30
I've used it to because I realized once I was like, I
32:33
think This is why I asked it. I was like, give me, I don't
32:39
remember which Imam Ali Salaam. I told them basically give me 50
32:43
hadith from this Imam and he gave me 50 hadith.
32:47
And then I said, OK, now where can I find all these hadith?
32:51
And it said, here's where you can find all the narrations and
32:55
the and then they don't exist. I said that was Muhammad.
32:59
Ali got so mad at me. Bro, so it's scary and even like
33:02
for example, when it comes to let's say the tafsir of the
33:04
Quran, which interpretation is it going to end up using?
33:08
Is it going to give you an interpretation that's in line
33:10
with our school of thought, for example, or is it going to give
33:13
you a completely different interpretation?
33:15
So as Muslims we should be careful, especially as Shia we
33:18
should be very wary and I think stay far away from fairly
33:21
technical questions, of course, and always approach a scholar.
33:25
And why would you replace an island whose Fahim, who studies
33:28
it his almost his entire life, Your Marger, someone who you
33:32
look up to, you want to MLA, you want to seek advice from.
33:35
Don't lose that human touch. And lose that.
33:38
Like there's a story I think I'll share this someone who is
33:43
not interested in, in religion. He's born Muslim.
33:49
He attends the community events at times and and whatnot.
33:52
And then one time he went Ziara to Arak and he met a scholar.
33:56
Eventually, after like 26 years of his life, he finally met Al
34:01
Alim. OK, so he goes when I when I
34:04
when I sat there and I was in his presence and I saw how he
34:10
handled the situation, how he was talking, the conversation,
34:14
his interaction to the extent that this island when I entered
34:18
picked up my shoes and put it in the shoe rack.
34:22
He goes. When I had that, I fell in love
34:23
with a slim like that human element, that touch.
34:26
Yeah, the humility. Would never.
34:28
Never match it. Yeah, honestly, I've already not
34:31
to mention of course that over reliance from it is of course
34:34
who you're speaking to doesn't have the skill of who you'd ask,
34:37
you know, in terms of the scholar, but also the negative
34:39
effect that comes to over reliance from it to us, Right.
34:43
So we've bought, I mean, I grew up in a household which like
34:48
reading was wajib in my house. Like, you know, we'd have to do
34:52
at least an hour of reading a day.
34:54
You know, it doesn't matter what what it doesn't matter what, of
34:57
course, but at the time, you know, but we'd have to read
34:59
fiction, non fiction, history, Islamic text, whatever it is as
35:03
a young child to boost your vocabulary, prove your
35:07
articulation. These are kind of things which
35:08
are so important. And now we're living in this
35:11
world which is heavily reliant on this kind of information so
35:15
easily accessible and available. And it's so easy to spot now as
35:19
well bro. Like LinkedIn is filled with AI.
35:21
You know, I, I'm, I'm on WhatsApp groups where people are
35:24
giving political analysis using AII know even their words.
35:28
Sometimes when I read something I now know this is AI.
35:30
And it's OK, like don't get us wrong because we've used AI in
35:33
the past for us, but. You're genuine self.
35:35
Yeah, of course, like we've used it in the past, like you know,
35:38
and I'm sure people have spotted it, but we, I don't think we're
35:40
reliant on it. Yeah, I think that's really
35:43
important to note because it's important.
35:44
We're an organization, a platform which values the, the,
35:49
the essence of articulation and conversation, right?
35:53
That's something we take pride in.
35:54
We take pride in variances of opinions and epistemologies on
35:59
the podcast, talking about different topics like last
36:02
week's topic and next week's topic will be completely
36:04
different, right? And and that's because we value
36:06
the fact that you can have different opinions, different
36:09
perspectives, historical experiences, which all build up
36:15
character building towards one individual who sits on on these
36:19
chairs and shares their perspective.
36:21
It's because, you know, we've grown up in a world of
36:24
experiences. We can't get that from Chachi
36:26
PT. So I think ultimately my final
36:28
message is, you know, subscribe. Subscribe.
36:33
That's where you get your information.
36:35
And we are only a few days away from rising.
36:37
