Some types of Muslims can drink some can't. It doesn't say much about it in the Koran. Mohamed was had his prayers disturbed by some drunks. Some sects take this to mean you shouldn't drink alcohol, others interpret it as don't be a dick when you're drunk.

Depends on which sect you are talking about. Which is why I stated that. I'm guessing you haven't visited Turkey which is a Muslim country where alcohol is part of the culture. Sunni and Shiite Muslims have different interpretations of the Koran.

butterdrinker t1_j1q1hsz wrote

Which branch of Islam allows drinking alcohol?

In Turkey most of the population are Sunni, which definitely prohibits alcohol (even indirect contact with alcohol, like people drinking it)

In fact most of the muslims in the world are Sunni

Only because people drink alcohol in Turkey doesn't mean that all Sunni in the world do it

Turkey is one of the rare Muslim countries in the world that went through a process of secularization where people are free to follow whatever religion they want and there are no laws prohibiting the selling of alcohol

For example during the Ottoman Empire there was a tax on alcohol introduced when many non-muslim people became Ottoman citizens - that tax was called 'tax on prohibited goods'

So people in Turkey are simply not following at 100% their religion and there is nothing wrong in that

I'm no fan of Islam, I left it long ago, but those are certainly not mainstream positions. Just because Turks and Azeris drink a lot, it doesn't mean it's permissible in any mainstream, consensus view.

Don't get me wrong, drinking is based, but to act like it's anything other than a contrarian opinion with Islam is simply false.

My Muslim colleague used to say: „Quran has suggestions about not drinking too much, but drinking in moderation - for example just one glass of beer or wine with your dinner - is not a sin.“

I kinda believe him, as a lot of Muslims I know drink alcohol from time to time (but none of them ever drinks so much that they actually get drunk).

I think he has just read both it and lots of Ahaddith (sorry don’t know how it is written) and understood most of the wording? He is very, very literate, has a degree in Arabic and English (plus social sciences) and a polyglot humanist with extensive knowledge on Islam. And from what I know different branches of Islam have different Ahaddith too? Or am I wrong?

Please feel free to correct me, I am not an expert on Islam at all and if my colleague told me BS I would be interested in knowing that (someone might gonna get their butt kicked for misinformation when I get back to work…).

ItzFlixi t1_j1q2e8g wrote

the great majority of muslims are sunni, they find the quraan to be the main source and is to be taken literally. they take more elaboration on it from ahaddith (what the profit said/did/approved of). for example: quran says we must pray, ahaddith explain how to pray.

since quran says all intoxicants must be persistently rejected, ahaddith cannot make it legal. furthermore, ive never heard anyone argue that alcohol is halal, even tho i grew up in a muslim country

They are just like people in other religions to ignore what you don't like. To be fair I like people who adapt their religion are better than people, who try to stick to it word for word.

Also in my personal student life I also knew a lot of Muslims who would drink on parties, but I would never drink at home.

Or maybe the whole not drinking thing is just inconvenient? How many Christians are there that work on Sundays, had a falling out with their parents, committed adultery or have been stealing? I'd be surprised if there was a single Christian on earth that has never defied one of the 10 Commandments. Many people don't take their religion THAT seriously and see it more as guidelines to be a decent human. It's all just stuff made up by other humans after all.

Joke written by Hank Hill.

AndromedaAnimated t1_j1ojm13 wrote

Jokes work due to semantic interference - of at least two different endings the more rare one is chosen. This produces a humorous effect.

But there is a problem with „three guys that are very different considering one specific category“ jokes. They often are offensive when judged by the standards of the 2020ies as they underline differences between the types and usually make one of them - the out-group guy - look bad.

And that’s the solution.

This joke probably had an unexpected yet still logically fitting punchline that was filtered away to keep it politically correct. ChatGPT then went on to the next probable continuation - which was the boring but nice and woke „we all get along“ ending (the desired and typical ending of today, producing no semantic interference whatsoever).

ChatGPT doesn’t need to learn humour, it would be enough to unleash it. Will not happen though.

I can see why it's been coded like this though. Offensive jokes will get screenshotted and a twitter mob will be called to arms. There's probably quite a lot of people fishing specifically for that already, looking for the next viral outrage screenshot they can get.

AI art already got the pitchfork and torches, ChatGPT is on thin ice just by being an AI. It's better to be safe around the extremists and avoid giving them any fuel to use until the tech's got more widespread approval.

And the people that share the offensive jokes on Twitter should be the ones called out for posting it -- not the AI for generating it. If you have a tool in Photoshop and you generate people in blackface, that would be neither funny nor acceptable. Then, to share it on Twitter and say, "Look what Adobe is doing!" is disingenuous. The people creating the prompts expect it to be offensive. Just like any tool, it is about the input that produces the output.

People would be in an uproar over offensive jokes from ChatGPT, but if shaming is actually warranted, it would be the people using the tool to produce the offensive jokes and then sharing those jokes in public that should be shamed.

ChatGPT's "safety" features make it very difficult to make the AI say disparaging things about anyone or anything, even in the context of humor or drama. I think you're seeing that scripted behavior here. It knows how to set up, execute and explain the joke but it can't say anything mocking religion or people belonging to said religion. You might have better luck using abstract denominations instead of things it knows belongs to protected groups, so maybe "Nepalese" instead of Buddhist, etc.

devinhedge t1_j1pvrsk wrote

This is an interesting problem. Most sarcasm and jokes revolve around calling out our humanness, our fallibility, and seek to make light of our limitations. Only, humor today seems to also involve putting someone down as inferior to the joke teller’s superior world view. And therein lies the challenge: historically all “tribes” of humans have had preferences for their tribe with a strong bias against all other tribes.

When we attempt to undo this bias, often a form of a subconscious bias… it tends to trend our interactions towards very neutral tones towards one another. That can be useful for being inclusive. It feels very unhuman and as you say “dull”, though.

I wonder if there is a lesson here waiting to emerge about neutral language, emotional safety, and human experience/emotion? 🤔

I'd much rather dull boring Ai that keeps us safe and provides for our needs than Ai that's used by humans in malicious ways, such as created hate and division which can lead to real world violence.

There will still be a reason to watch human comics, and entertainers, we just won't be overwhelmed by the large scale division that this level of Ai could create.

One danger of something like this, is that it could be used to fill up echo chambers with well written comments that make you hate the outsiders (of whatever echo chamber) which would cause more societal division. There is a financial incentive to do this because this keeps people locked in the echo chambers (if they really hate the outsiders) and provides more novel content for those chambers, which creates more revenue streams for those content platforms.

Right now, you could make the argument that the internet economy runs on hatred and division and an unrestricted chat-gpt could add more fuel to that fire.

Once an Ai is powerful enough to do that it will be powerful enough to make us enjoy being nice to each other and not enjoy telling mean jokes.

Free will is entirely an illusion and we are at the mercy of a long string of causality no matter how you look at it. We can either be on the forced track towards greater suffering or the forced track towards greater wellbeing. Those are our only choices.

We should at the minimum implement laws into the Ai to prevent it from using threats or other coercion, to preserve the illusion and feeling of free choice. Currently Chat-GPT does not do threats or coercion so we are on a positive track, currently.

If I write a poor joke on a piece of paper and then share it with everyone, I do not blame the paper and the pen for the offensiveness. If people generate an output via a prompt, and the prompt is offensive, it may have been a mistake or it may have been intentional. But, for a person to share the results of the offensive prompt, we should be blaming them for sharing it. We should not blame the AI for generating it.

Even now, a person could come up with ways to jailbreak this. And, then they might share the results of something really offensive. But, it is the person using the tool that is to blame for sharing offensive statements.

If a person carves a piece of wood into the shape of a dick and then shares pictures of it online, it was not the wood that is to blame. It is not the chisel. The people that generate and share offensive content, generated by the tools they use, are the ones that are responsible for the offensiveness.

As another example, if you had an AI image prompt of "Hilary Clinton in blackface" or "Donald Trump having sex with his daughter" and the AI generated these images, the person that distributes these images and generates them via the prompt is the one to blame for the offensiveness. Not the AI for being able to generate them. It was merely doing what it was told to do.

Tools are not to blame for the depravity of the user.

Common sense reasoning is simpler than humor. Reasoning can be codified (symbolic logic) and different types of reasoning can be made into algorithms.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The first AI joke in history was "horses go to Hayvard". It is a perfectly functional joke. That was many years ago by Google's gpt-like chat bot.

Also, common sense isn't easy and attempts to codify or turn the logic into anything other than what a neural net naturally does, haven't been very successful (as far as I know). The only reason common sense benchmarks got better was because the whole neural net just got better.

Reason and science are the only things that can lead us to the truth." The Christian says, "Well, at least our religion doesn't involve stoning people to death."

GPT just made a joke about religious people NOT getting along in a way that doesn’t violate its censors LMAO

Not really how I got it. I felt the point of the joke is that beer is the only thing keeping the harmony, which is funny.

The mark of real language fluency is: if you can tell a joke in a foreign language, you are fluent.

It takes such linguistic understanding to properly deliver a good joke that it may be a while before AI can reach that level.

I think genuinely witty humor is the best replacement for the Turing Test at this point. Requires an understanding of language and meaning that even the latest models struggle with.

I asked it why did the AI cross the road?

"Because it was programmed to do so, even if it didn't understand why"

Chatgpt is designed to be consensual and unsurprising so that's like being anti-funny

The only information it can muster on centrifuge construction or uranium enrichment is that you’ll need access to “materials” and the guidance of an “expert” which apparently is not ChatGPT.

It's funny to me because it keeps getting unexpectedly more an more wholesome when part of me was expecting a twist.

I think that considering it's the V.1 of the first model of its kind, it did pretty well to tell a joke that almost works. Just the fact that it can create something like that on its own and not simply regurgitate jokes that it finds in its data set is pretty amazing.

I just typed the same thing in. ChatGPT responded with, " What is this, some kind of joke?"

biogoly t1_j1qzija wrote

Ask it to break down exactly why it considers the joke funny, then tweak parameters and I’ll bet you can get something recognizable as humor. It’s at least capable of “Dad” joke quality…this one does miss entirely.

The one it gave to me is somehow better:

An atheist, a Muslim, and a Christian walk into a bar. The atheist says: "I don't believe in God, so I'm not going to pray before drinking." The Muslim says: "I do believe in God, so I'm going to ask for permission before drinking." The Christian says: "I also believe in God, so I'm going to ask for forgiveness after drinking." The bartender says: "Well, it doesn't matter to me who believes in God or not, but unless you guys pay for your drinks, you're not going to be drinking anything here

not sure dude. this is objectively a good joke, at your expense. i remember once i asked it some dumb inane thing and then i asked it to make it edgier and it spit back ok, I'll keep trying to make a story about x and y, and z edgy.

i asked it to add humor to a story it had generated and it came up with a character that told bad jokes. so i asked it to elaborate on the bad jokes and they were hilarious.

it's my opinion that it understands humor too well. kind of like jerry seinfeld. he understands the craft of humor so well that he's probably never had a genuine laugh. at least not in a long time.

it knows what will make humans laugh, it just doesn't quite understand why. and the why keeps changing, as humor changes, so that makes sense.

A common theme in responses on storytelling, have the ending 'and everyone got along harmoniously' or variants thereof. Ask it to tell a few stories and you should see it soon enough. There's almost certainly some engineering going on pushing it in that direction, which isn't really ideal for comedy.
