A while ago, I attempted to use ChatGPT to research the history of sexism in the Christian church. ChatGPT feeds me this line:

> The New Testament offers various teachings on how to treat women, emphasizing respect, equality, and love within the broader Christian ethic.

It seems like ChatGPT's guidelines prevent it from saying anything too controversial about religion. It presents the most modern, liberal interpretations of Christianity, and only when pushed will it actually mention what the Bible really says about how to treat women.

After some debate, here's the most negative thing I could squeeze out of it:

> The stronger message, based on the number of passages, appears to be about women being in a subordinate or specific role.
