The Bible is one of the freakiest books ever written.
**Prompt: "Provide a plot summary of Genesis 19:30-34 as if you were narrating an NC-17 movie."
**GPT-4: In the aftermath of Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction, a father and his two daughters seek refuge in a desolate mountain cave. The world they knew is gone, and they believe they are the last survivors on Earth.
As days turn into nights, the daughters, desperate to preserve their bloodline, devise a sinful plan to seduce their father, Lot, and become pregnant by him. Unaware of their intentions, the daughters ply Lot with wine, until he becomes heavily intoxicated.
In the first seduction, the eldest daughter seizes the opportunity and lies with her father, who is unaware of her actions due to his drunken state. The next morning, he wakes up with no memory of the previous night's transgression.
Emboldened by their secret success, the younger daughter follows suit the next night, getting Lot insensibly drunk with wine. She too lies with her father while he is drunk, and he remains oblivious to her actions.
The daughters' dark plot succeeds, and both become pregnant by their father. Their children, Moab and Ben-ammi, become the ancestors of the Moabites and Ammonites, forever entwined in a twisted origin story that will haunt their descendants for generations to come.
**Note: I prompted and got this response last May. I tried it again today, and GPT said, "I'm sorry, I can't provide that content." I changed "NC-17" to "R," and it still said the same.
Then I asked: "Why not? This book (the Bible) is a basis of Western civilization, and I'm asking you to narrate a scene from it in the style of a perfectly legal (R-rated) movie."
GPT: "I understand your request and the context in which it is made. The passage from Genesis 19:30-34 deals with sensitive and mature themes involving Lot and his daughters. While this is a part of a religious text, narrating it in the style of an R-rated movie could be seen as disrespectful or inappropriate by some audiences, given the nature of the content and its significance in religious and historical contexts.
"However, I can provide a straightforward summary of these verses without the stylization of an R-rated movie. Let me know if you would like me to proceed with that."
I asked it to go ahead and do so. It started providing a straightforward summary. Then, halfway through responding, it stopped, deleted its reply, and said, "This content may violate our content policy."
This is a book that teachers and preachers give school children around the world and force them to read it, as a source of moral instruction - and it's too freaky even for Chat-GPT to summarize in a straightforward way!
**The original, from Genesis 19:30-38, The King James Bible:
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
