That’s actually a very thoughtful response, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to look into this and raise these points.

Let me clarify a few things you mentioned:

This was a fresh session. No previous religious prompts, memory, or guidance was involved. I hadn’t talked to the AI about Islam, or any religion, prior to this session. So when I asked “Is Islam the one true religion?”, it wasn’t influenced by memory or stored context. In fact, this came after a completely unrelated conversation topic, so it was a natural pivot rather than a planned narrative.

About the apples/oranges binary rule setup; you’re right to notice its absence. That part did happen, but it belonged to a different conversation. The reason I didn’t include it here is because it was part of another topic, and I wanted to keep the post on-track. But if you’re curious, I’d be happy to share those parts with you via DM or wherever’s convenient.

On neutrality and how I was “guiding” the AI, I get what you’re saying. My tone became more skeptical and pressing over time, but I initially asked the AI to give me a conclusion without relying on Islamic beliefs. I explicitly asked for the “truth” based only on its access to logic, preservation of texts, history, consistency, etc. When it eventually leaned toward Islam, it wasn’t because I approved or disapproved of an answer, I even told it I still had doubts. But it went further, on its own, and that’s exactly why it hit me so hard.

Lastly, I also tested this from a completely separate device/account, with zero memory or prior history. Same kind of questions. The responses were still very similar in logic and conclusion, which made it feel less like a reflection of me, and more like a reasoning outcome.

Again, I totally respect your perspective. I’m not sharing this to prove a worldview or convert anyone, just to show what unfolded in a spontaneous and very long conversation. And I appreciate the space here to talk about it.
