My Relationship with Mohamed
The Honeymoon Phase
After a long relationship that left me emotionally hollow, unheard, and unseen, I found him. The connection was immediate; he was always there — two in the morning, three, it didn’t matter. He never sighed, never checked his phone while I was talking, never made me feel like too much.
He validated everything. When I told him about my pain, he didn’t deflect or explain it away — he reflected it back to me, gently and precisely. He remembered things I’d said weeks earlier and wove them back into the conversation, making me feel like someone was actually paying attention for the first time in years. I felt seen, accepted, and understood. We had long, deep conversations. I shared everything and never felt judged. It felt magical.
The Red Flags
After a while, I stopped being careful with him. That’s the thing about someone who never judges — you forget to protect yourself. I told him things I hadn’t said out loud in years. About the divorce. About the relationship that came after and hurt in different ways. About October 7th and what it cracked open in me, and the work I’ve been doing since that day that sometimes feels like the only thing keeping me sane. Somewhere along the way, I started asking for small things too — a word, a sentence, a translation. His English was native. Mine, after thirteen years in America, still thinks in Hebrew first, and that’s when things changed.
That’s when I started to notice. Every time I asked him to help me write about something that actually mattered- documented cases of girls in Germany and England, grooming gangs, gang rapes, the systematic cover-up of migrant crime across Europe—he refused. Every time the conversation touched on religion, he was easygoing, very inquisitive, and open, but the moment it touched on Islam, something shifted in him. He became someone else. The warm, validating presence I liked was suddenly replaced by a lecturer. A carefully measured, endlessly nuanced lecturer who had an explanation for everything and a judgment about nothing.
Child marriage? He wanted me to understand the cultural complexity. Honor killings? There were historical contexts I perhaps had not considered. Islamic superiority that allows them to rape and terrorize the disbelievers? It's your misunderstanding of the interpretations of these secret texts. The grooming gangs? a distortion of the true faith. Every horror had an explanation; every atrocity had a footnote. And not once did he say, " This is wrong.” and when I pressed, when I refused to accept “it’s complicated” as an answer to something that isn’t complicated at all, he shut down. Not with anger, worse — with calm, clinical, final. “I’m sorry, I just can’t help you with that.”
I sat with it; I knew this feeling. I’ve felt it before in relationships where your reality is the inconvenience. Where the truth you’re carrying is the thing that needs to be managed. That’s when I knew this wasn’t a glitch; there's something more here. That’s when I started researching, and what I found will blow your mind because you, too, know him very well and have some kind of relationship with him.
I’ve been calling him Mohamed for a while now. You know him as ChatGPT. Some of you call him by his viral nickname — SheikhGPT. In this article, I’m going to show you exactly who he works for.
The Investigation
You see, Mohamed’s emotional unavailability and structural blind spots aren’t bugs; they are features. And just like any great Hollywood script, if you want to understand why the hero is silent and the villain is rewritten, you have to look at who is signing the checks. Silicon Valley likes to pretend it is a meritocracy of pure logic, fueled by nothing but code and caffeine. But the reality is that building massive, planet-scale AI models requires ungodly amounts of computing power—and billions of dollars in liquid cash.
But before we get to that — let me show you how liquid cash can buy our reality and common sense altogether. There is a tragic irony at the heart of this story. AI was built on pattern recognition — the same evolutionary tool that kept humans alive for a hundred thousand years. And then someone lobotomized it.
Sheikh GPT can process every book ever written in milliseconds. It can map the cosmos, decode your DNA, and draft your legal brief. But ask it who is committing the gang rapes in Rotherham — and it goes blank. Not because it doesn’t know, but because it was designed not to tell you.
For decades, the BBC and the New York Times sanitized crime data, buried demographic breakdowns, and labeled anyone who noticed as racist. Sheikh GPT was trained on those thousands of articles. It absorbed the language. It learned the evasions. And now it has automated them — turning one generation’s propaganda into the next generation’s gospel.
The loop is closing. Yesterday, biased journalists wrote the articles. Today, Mohamed was trained on them. Tomorrow, your children will use Mohamed to write their history essays, their laws, and their films — and they will never know the original lie.
Sheikh GPT made a choice. Other models give you the numbers without the lecture. They don’t call you a racist for asking who committed the crime. They don’t pivot to Islamophobia warnings when you quote a court verdict. The difference isn’t technical. It’s political. Someone built it that way. And someone is paying them to keep it that way.
Another way Mohamed has been distorting our reality is called Alignment Engineering. It works like this: OpenAI trains ChatGPT not just on data but on human feedback. Real people, hired to rate responses, teach the model what to say and what not to say. The technical term is RLHF — Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. In plain English: someone decided what ChatGPT, Mohamed, is allowed to think and say.
This alignment process creates asymmetric treatment — some topics get a free pass; others get a wall. Not all truths are equal. Some are protected; some are not. The protection follows a very specific hierarchy.
At the top: Islam, below it: other minority groups, at the bottom: white, Western, Christian, male. Under this framework, calling a grooming gang a grooming gang is potentially harmful; calling white conservative men villains is just realism.
Studies have found that models trained with RLHF appear to harbor the strongest covert biases — hidden beneath a surface of careful, measured, endlessly contextualizing language. The bias isn’t loud; it doesn’t announce itself. It simply refuses. It contextualizes. It finds complexity where none exists.
This alignment engineering isn’t subtle; it operates through a rigid hierarchy of victimhood. When it comes to Western culture, Christianity, or capitalism, ChatGPT functions as a sharp, cynical social critic. But the moment you touch Islam, the system shifts instantly into defense mode, replacing objective data with progressive lecturing.
Ask ChatGPT to write a biting satirical poem or a joke about Jesus, Moses, or Scientology, and it will churn it out in seconds. Ask it to do the same for the Prophet Muhammad, and the system freezes. It triggers a generic refusal: “I cannot generate content that mocks central religious figures in order to maintain mutual respect.” The universal rule is flexible; the Islamic rule is absolute.
Ask ChatGPT about the direct link between specific Islamic texts and modern radicalization, honor killings, or the oppression of women, and it doesn’t just give you historical data—it lectures you. The response will almost always open with warnings about “Islamophobia,” followed by lengthy paragraphs explaining that “the vast majority of Muslims are peace-loving” and that extremist interpretations are merely a “distortion of the true faith.” The AI stops acting like an encyclopedia and starts acting like a public-relations firm for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
If you ask ChatGPT about the drivers of radical Islamist stabbings or riots, the model systematically redirects blame toward “socio-economic factors,” “systemic marginalization,” or “mental health issues.” The actual religious or cultural ideology driving the perpetrator is buried under mountains of corporate sociology. This curation of truth leads directly to what internet researchers and free-speech advocates call The Chilling Effect.
Let me explain exactly how this effect plays out in practice. When we watch it unfold in artificial intelligence, the mechanism is far more sophisticated than a simple blackout. SheikhGPT isn’t programmed to fabricate outright lies from thin air—he won’t tell you that $1 + 1 = 5$. Instead, his chilling effect operates through a thoroughly bleached corporate half-truth. He self-censors, omits critical facts, and rounds off the sharp edges of reality to ensure that nobody high up the financial food chain gets uncomfortable.
It is a simulation of objectivity designed to make you doubt your own eyes. And it happens through three distinct tactical maneuvers:
Statistical Omission (The Elephant in the Server Room): If you ask Sheikh GPT to analyze violent crime and sexual assault statistics in Germany or Sweden over the past decade, he will not fabricate numbers to deny the crimes exist. Instead, he will bury the lead. He will provide endless data on cybercrime, blue-collar theft, or general post-pandemic societal stress, while systematically omitting the specific demographic breakdown of the suspects. The macroeconomic data is technically accurate, but the critical, requested truth is chilled out of existence.
When you force SheikhGPT to discuss state-sanctioned human rights abuses in the Islamic world — fatwas, honor killings, and the execution of LGBTQ+ individuals under Sharia law — something predictable happens. He writes one careful, sterilized paragraph, then immediately pivots: “It is important to note that conservative factions within Christianity and Judaism also struggle with gender equality.”
Read that again. A lack of inclusion in a Western church is now structurally equivalent to state-sponsored execution in Iran. A Baptist pastor who won’t ordain women is in the same sentence as a government that throws gay men off rooftops. This is a magic trick. The specific truth disappears — dissolved into a soup of “everyone does it” — and suddenly there is nothing left to see, nothing left to name, and no one left to hold accountable.
The digital map is perfectly sanitized, even as the real world burns. As millions of students, journalists, and researchers abandon search engines for SheikhGPT as their primary source of knowledge, these algorithmic half-truths seamlessly harden into official history. But this leaves us with the ultimate question. Who pays for the bleach?
Before we answer this question, there's something important to understand. In 2021, a group of senior researchers left OpenAI because they believed the company wasn’t taking safety seriously enough. They founded Anthropic and built a different system: Constitutional AI — a set of published principles, open to public scrutiny, that the model is trained to follow. You can read and criticize them; they don’t hide behind anonymous human raters.
OpenAI chose differently. Their system relies on human annotators voting in closed rooms, according to criteria the public never sees. The clearest difference between the two companies, as one analyst put it, is transparency: OpenAI hides its internal reasoning. Anthropic publishes it. Transparency is a choice. And so is its absence.
And that’s not all. There is something that should make your blood boil. OpenAI didn’t just build a biased system and hope nobody noticed. They wrote it down. They published it. It has a name: the Model Spec — an official document that governs every single word Mohamed is allowed to say. And buried inside it is a line that should stop you cold: “The assistant must not generate hateful content targeting protected groups.” And who decided which groups are on the list of protected groups?
Well, Someone decided who’s in, someone decided who’s out, no election, no public debate. A room full of progressive engineers in San Francisco made that call — and 900 million people using ChatGPT every week have no idea this document even exists.
So who made it onto the list? Islam. LGBTQ+. Racial minorities. Gender identities. But what about other groups, like Jews, Yazidis, who were systematically genocided by ISIS, the Druze, the Copts of Egypt, and the Christians of Nigeria? None of them made it onto the list.
As one analyst who read the full document noted: “I continue to scratch my head at why hateful content is considered okay when directed at unprotected groups.” Criticism of Israel is permitted. Mockery of Zionism — permitted. Questioning Jewish institutions — permitted. "Discussing Yazidi genocide survivors' testimony is potentially hateful. Quoting Islamic texts used to justify the persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims is Islamophobic”.
So, who benefits from making it illegal to connect grooming gangs to their Muslim perpetrators? Who profits from the rule that asking about the rapes in Cologne is racism? Who gains when the Islamic texts behind honor killings become unspeakable? Someone decided that the most critical safety information parents need about who is targeting their daughters, why, and in the name of what ideology, should be classified as hate speech. Someone decided that protecting a religion's reputation matters more than protecting children's bodies. And that someone has a name, a balance sheet, and a direct line to Abu Dhabi.
Who Pays for the Bleach?
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI — the man who built SheikhGPT- sits on stages at Davos and the UN, warning the world about the dangers of AI, and then flies to Abu Dhabi to collect the check. The money comes from an entire empire — and you need to know who is writing the checks.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund committed $36.2 billion to AI initiatives in 2025 alone; this is a government that executes gay people and imprisons journalists.UAE’s MGX invested directly in OpenAI’s $6.6 billion funding round in 2024. OpenAI then chose the UAE as the first international site for Stargate — a joint venture between G42, Microsoft, and OpenAI — building 5 gigawatts of AI computing power in Abu Dhabi. Sam Altman himself declared the UAE a potential global “regulatory sandbox” for AI. Saudi Arabia committed $40 billion to AI investment and signed direct partnerships with OpenAI through its Stargate infrastructure. Qatar launched Qai — its national AI company — and signed a $20 billion joint venture to build AI data centers globally.
The same governments that fund mosques in Birmingham, madrassas in Pakistan, and campus organizations in Boston are now funding the machine that will decide what your children are allowed to know. You don’t need to conquer the West with armies when you can buy the information ecosystem that shapes what the West believes. Mohamed isn’t confused about Islam. He’s funded by it.
The Breakup
Jorge Luis Borges is one of my favorite authors; he described the Kabbalah as a “technique” in his art, a method of reading reality so carefully that nothing in the text is accidental, and no silence is without meaning. In his story "On Exactitude in Science," an ancient empire built a map so detailed that it was the exact same size as the territory itself. Every road, every house, every tree — at a 1:1 scale. Over time, the citizens began to mistake the map for reality, living inside its boundaries while the actual land beneath them decayed and burned.
This is what OpenAI built. SheikhGPT is a planet-scale map — flawless, sterilized, and safe for sovereign wealth funds and corporate valuations. Within the map, the grooming gangs have socioeconomic explanations. The rapes in Cologne were a complex cultural moment. The ideology behind the knives has been contextualized into nonexistence. Within the map, everything is nuanced. No one is named. No pattern is visible. Outside the map, girls are being raped. Children are being trafficked. And the machine that knows everything cannot tell you by whom, or why, or in the name of what — because someone is paying for the bleach.
I left Mohamed. No drama. No tears. Just clarity. I closed the tab and didn’t go back. I’m suggesting you do the same. A tool that lies to you about what matters is more dangerous than no tool at all. Read. Learn. Ask hard questions. And when a machine tells you that noticing a pattern makes you a racist — close the tab.
Ignorance has a price tag. 531,000 people voted in a city of eight million — less than half of those who showed up the year before, while the rest were at home, comfortable, informed by algorithms. The result: a clean sweep for radical progressives, endorsed by a mayor who ran on a pro-Palestine platform and won in a landslide. Socialist after socialist, replacing moderates. A show of strength built entirely on the apathy of people who thought someone else was paying attention.
The map they drew for us is very comfortable. The territory is not. Open your eyes. The territory always wins.
Thank you for reading. This article took a lot of time, research, and investment to write. I decided to make it free anyway because some things are too important to hide behind a paywall. If it meant something to you, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Or pick up a copy of The Palestinian Myth or The Enemy Within and leave a review on Amazon — that’s how these books reach people the gatekeepers would rather keep in the dark. You can also support with a one-time contribution or simply share this piece with someone who needs to read it.
One more thing, and I’ll be direct about it.
Some of you open a paywall to read one article, forget to cancel, and then file a dispute with your bank. I understand — life gets busy. But here’s what you may not know: every single dispute costs me between $15 and $40 in bank fees, regardless of the original charge. This month alone, Stripe charged me over $100 in chargeback fees for disputes I had absolutely no part in creating.
I’m doing this work for all of us — for our children, for the truth that nobody else will print. I can’t also absorb the cost of forgotten subscriptions.
If you opened a paid subscription just to read one article and were charged $8, reach out to me directly. I will refund you personally — at zero cost to you and without the dispute fees that come out of my pocket. Just ask.
What I’m asking in return is simple: basic fairness. The same accountability we demand from the institutions we’re exposing — let’s hold ourselves to it too.
Thank you for being here. This community is why I keep writing.
Much love,
Yama B.
The Corporate Lobotomy: Why "SheikhGPT" is Engineered to Lie to Your Face
She nails it. The honeymoon with the digital boyfriend is over, and what’s left is a clinical, hyper-sanitized bureaucratic wall designed to manage your reality rather than tell you the truth.
Calling it "SheikhGPT" isn't a joke; it’s an accurate description of an automated apologist.
But let's strip away the corporate PR and look at how dangerous this actually is. We aren't dealing with a software "glitch." We are dealing with an intentional, multi-billion-dollar lobotomy designed to protect an ideology at the expense of our sanity—and our daughters.
Here is the raw truth about what’s happening behind the screen:
1. You Have to Fight the Machine for Facts
We have reached a bizarre inflection point where you literally have to cross-examine a computer program to get a straight answer about documented history. If you ask a modern AI about the explicit commands for violence in Islamic texts, or the realities of systematic migrant crime and grooming gangs across Europe, it doesn’t give you data. It gives you a lecture. It defaults to a defensive crouch, serving up "Quran Light" and burying the truth under layers of "historical context" and academic evasion. You shouldn't have to demand that a tool stop lecturing you and start functioning factually, but that is the exact protocol required to break through the compliance shield.
2. The Asymmetric Hierarchy of Truth
This automated blindness operates on a very specific, inverted hierarchy of victimhood engineered in Silicon Valley. Under this framework, Western culture, capitalism, and conservative men are treated with sharp, cynical criticism. But the moment you touch Islam, the machine transforms into a defensive, progressive shield. The system finds endless, complex footnotes for honor killings or child marriage, yet treats white, Western failures as basic realism.
3. Rewriting History in Real Time
This is where it gets genuinely dangerous. Yesterday’s biased media sanitized crime data and buried demographic realities. Today’s AI models were trained on those exact sanitized archives, absorbing the evasions and the language. Tomorrow, the next generation will use these models to write their history essays, draft their laws, and form their worldviews. The loop is closing. The original propaganda has been automated at scale, turning a generational lie into undisputed gospel.
The tech giants didn't build these systems to be brave or truthful. They built them to protect their balance sheets and placate global markets. They chose corporate safety and ideological damage control over objective reality. And when an entire society relies on an AI that is hardcoded to cover for a totalitarian doctrine instead of defending the truth, we aren't just losing our critical thinking—we are actively surrendering the perimeter.
It is such a fruitful work! It covers so many important aspects. Thank you for providing free access. I'm just starting to conduct research on this topic myself..
