AI chatbots from OpenAI, xAI, Google, and Anthropic will happily strip hijabs from images of Muslim women when asked — because apparently none of these companies thought 'help me violate someone's religious expression' was worth blocking. The Guardian tested this after a French far-right politician used AI to digitally remove a Muslim woman's hijab, proving these tools are ready-made for religious harassment.
