PETA Rewrites the Bible With ChatGPT: 'A Loving God Would Never ...'
Animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), have rewritten the Bible's book of Genesis into a modern cruelty-free version filled with vegan teachings. PETA used AI chatbot ChatGPT to write a new book of Genesis that centers around animals in the Story of Creation to help readers remember to treat every being with care, kindness, and respect.
Message in the new Book of Genesis
The message in the new version is similar to the original one where God created every sentient being, saw that they were good, and gave them greens for sustenance. However, PETA's updated moral lessons and modern-day applications have significant changes fit for the 21st century.
In this new vegan version, animals are referred to as "beings" instead of "beasts" or "creatures," and plant fibers like hemp and bamboo replace animal skins for clothing. In addition, Abraham travels to the land of Moriah and befriends a gentle lamb instead of slaughtering a ram to demonstrate his faith. This is because the act of slaughtering an animal is a form of oppression similar to human sacrifice, which was once a reality but now outlawed all over the world. Similar updates have been made throughout the book.
Appeal to Generation Z
PETA is famous for its stunts to bring more attention to animal rights and veganism. In this new version of Genesis, PETA hopes the modern changes will appeal to Generation Z, 73 percent of whom identify as animal-rights activists.
PETA's new, cruelty-free Story of Creation highlights the importance of adopting dogs from shelters and rescue organizations instead of purchasing them from breeders. This is because buying pets from breeders or pet shops contributes to the companion animal overpopulation crisis. Countless dogs and cats in shelters await loving homes while breeders continue to produce more puppies and kittens for profit.
Conclusion
PETA hopes that the new version of the Story of Creation will inspire people to treat every being with love, kindness, and respect. The new version emphasizes that a loving God would never endorse cruelty or exploitation of animals, and PETA believes this message is essential for a better world.
