Faced with new legislation, Iowa's Mason City Community School District asked ChatGPT if certain books 'contain a description or depiction of a sex act.'

The ban attempts to comply with a new law requiring Iowa school library catalogs to be both “age appropriate” and devoid of “descriptions or visual depictions of a sex act.”

Sounds like a stupid law.

We really shouldn't have conservatives anymore.

But also chatGPT seems like the wrong tool for this idiotic endeavor.

Massive shout out to the teachers who can still teach that sex ed class without books to describe or show things.

Guess it'll have to be a practical lesson 👀

Describes the Bible perfectly. Is that banned in Iowa yet?
