Thank you for sharing this. It's concerning that there is such distortion and fabrication in the portrayal of Muslim women. On the growth of AI, I understand that the city of Edinburgh is questioning the development of data banks due to their high power and water use.
I'm not surprised. I taught English in the public schools in Djibouti for 16 years, and I also learned to speak Somali while I was there. I loved this film. I'm glad to see that someone is using it for teaching, and sad to hear about the reactions and AI. I hope that some students actually do learn from it.
To be honest, Djibouti is not a particularly oppressive place for women as compared to other places. It has its problems certainly.
I also taught religious studies as returning to the US at large PWI University. Students often had similar reactions to any readings or discussions about women, LGBTQ+, etc., in other societies. Their biases prevented them from understanding what was right there under their noses. You always hope that discussion in class helps with that, but who knows?!
That's literally the point of what this essay says -- if you read it, rather than generating your comment with AI (as you very clearly have), you might have noticed that. Ironic given your comment says to "stay close to the original work"...
Heavy on the AI is a reflection of our society

It’s really awful. That’s great about Edinburgh questionning the data centers. The boom in the US is despairing.
This is shocking. This experience of blatant racism by AI indicates a hellish future for humanity.
It is devastating. And that it makes up "stereotypical" stuff rather than even pull from existing internet information.

Fascinating.
