Reflections started as a monthly video series—part commentary, part Da'wa, part cultural autopsy. Sometimes scripted, sometimes sparked by an argument before we even hit record.

I had a conversation with ChatGPT-40, and I wanted real answers. So I asked: Can ChatGPT be taken over by people with bad intentions?
And like a well-trained diplomat, it served me the same polished response every time: “OpenAI has strict security measures in place to prevent misuse… blah blah blah.” Over and over, like a customer service rep reading off a script.
