"I have been sent only to perfect Noble Character" - Holy Prophet PBUH Very powerful and interesting hadith if you look at it. It seemed to challenge the very notion that the purpose of humans was to follow ritualistic obligations. The complete reverse of much of the way Islamic groups taught Islam in the modern world. Is Islam a religion where humans were created to uphold rituals or is it the opposite - were rituals created to uphold humans? What I mean by that is what exactly is the point of Islam, why was it revealed and then once we understand this what is the role of the human. Understanding this is fundamental to understanding our role in Islam and what Allah wants from us. You see if you were created to do rituals - your obligation (fard) ends with the completion of the ritual. Breaking this down further, it means that the human who has performed the rituals that God created him/ her to do has in fact satisfied the criteria of their obligatory acts of Islam. This is what many so called religiously trained people from previously colonized countries believe today. The second view and taught far less by traditional groups is that the purpose of Islam - Is the exact opposite of the former opinion. Here mankind has NOT completed his 'Fard' (obligatory) duty by completing rituals and even if they completed all rituals they would still NOT satisfy God and His Messengers demand on the man - in short - they would have FAILED in following the teachings of Islam. This view holds that rituals are not the peak, foundation stone, or purpose of Islam, but merely a tool to help with the TRUE purpose of mankind and that Islam was a far nobler and higher set of acts than mere rituals. Rituals were simply tools that that help a human do what Allah really sent mankind to do on this earth - believe in Him and prove it by great personal, ethical and social good works.
From my understanding, and I may be wrong, is that truth is knowing the reality of something. So when ChatGPT denies objective truth, it's claiming that there is an objective reality, but we won't know it or be able to get to it. And Allah knows best.

There is no blowing out of proportion how much human beings agree with each other on ethics and morals @2:01:30. I mean, get real. If you have no inclination to quantify that at all, then say something else.
It's not up to Muhammad to determine who is the best of them, who is the worst of them, and who is the ultra-worse of them etc. etc. Of course, he can opine all he wants to, but to put this much stock into another person's judgment (in this case Muhammad's), or to find his judgement infallible (in this case Muhammad's) is no recipe, no formula, no paradigm WHATSOEVER for moral awakening, moral flourishing.
