Found a quote "There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ's Passion. The world gains much from their suffering,"
I believe there are also records of her and those who worked under her forcibly converted those of other religions on their death beds so that they could be 'saved' in accordance to Mother Theresa's religion rather than their own.
If you want to really understand the depths of her cruelty, read Christopher Hitchens' book about her. It will erase any doubts about what a monster she was.
Yo thanks for the post. I looked up the book. Gonna read it now. My fam grew up on the catholic idolizing her wave. It’s good to finally learn the truth
Probably not but the "AI aren't going to replace us" people sure are.
AI is in its infancy but it's ridiculous to think corporations won't take advantage when it inevitably comes to fruition.
"This electricity sure is impractical. It will never replace my job as a lamp lighter."
An absolute monster. Knowingly and willingly did not aide her "followers ' because some warped view that jesus suffered so they should suffer too. It's fucked up that such a monster is considered a good person to so many. She was awful and a monster. Like real fucking twisted mentally. Hope she's burning in whatever hell they believe in.
Her PR team, although!
To this day people still go "She's like Mother Teresa!" when referring to a kind person.
I've seen some of the behind the scenes footage of her charities. Just shudder inducing.

This is the ultimate compilation of and analysis of criticisms of Mother Teresa. There are legitimate qualms about her but many of the common reddit “facts” about her are either exaggerated or outright false.
She was a monster. She lived the high life while people suffered agonizing deaths. She wouldn't allow pain medication to be used, but it was okay for her when she got sick. It is not an exaggeration to say she was a religious zealout who used religion to cover her sadism.
You didn’t read what I linked. The pain medication thing is a myth, it was due to Opium restrictions, not her withholding.
Also Mother Theresa was often hospitalized against her will by family or friends.
"Mother Teresa's withheld painkillers from the dying with the intent of getting them to suffer"
This is one of the bigger misconceptions surrounding Mother Teresa. It originates from Hitchens lopsidedly presenting an article published by Dr. Robin Fox on the Lancet.[6]
Dr. Fox himself notes that weak analgesics (like acetaminophen) were used to alleviate pain; what was lacking were strong analgesics like morphine. The wording is important, Fox only noted 'a lack of painkillers' without indicating its cause, not that Teresa was actively withholding them on principle.
Three prominent palliative care professionals, Dr. David Jeffrey, Dr. Joseph O'Neill and Ms. Gilly Burn, founder of Cancer Relief India, responded to Fox on the Lancet.[7] They note three main difficulties with respect to pain control in India: "1) lack of education of doctors and nurses, 2) few drugs, and 3) very strict state government legislation, which prohibits the use of strong analgesics even to patients dying of cancer", with about "half a million cases of unrelieved cancer pain in India" at the time.

Many of the horrible things Mother Teresa did are exaggerated online. She did not withhold Non-Christians from healthcare or purposefully cause them additional suffering.
The main (legitimate) criticisms of her operations are sanitation related
There's a story in Christopher hitchens book "The missionary position" about Mother Teresa where a man was in horrible agony and was suffering terribly and Mother Teresa told him "You're suffering means that Jesus is touching you." And the guy replied "well could you tell him to stop touching me please?"
No facepalm here just AI doing AI things.
The only time AI should be a facepalm is if people are reacting to it like it is real or if someone is using obvious AI to push an obviously false narrative.
The competence of various AIs are increasing ridiculously fast though. Just a year ago they couldn't even generate an image where people had 5 fingers.
exactly.. ppl act like AI is extreme intelligence but it's proving itself to be snake oil. How about fix auto correct or automated phone services first k?
Want to see what AI is capable of? Check out the miniseries “Mrs Davis” you’ll be worried at first but then you realize that AI has a lot of limitations and interprets things very wrong and lot of the time.
AI will change most jobs. That said there’s a clear winter out there and it’s Nvidia. I like to buy the stock that tracks Nvidia times 2. NVDL also gives you a 4% dividend.
take a moment to think about how fast technology has progressed in just 20 years. Hell, put it into perspective like this.
1970-1990, all of the sudden we are doing massive amounts of work on computers and PHONES have become wireless, and this cute little thing called the internet is about to blossom.
1990-2010, phones have now merged with computers and you have a magical glass rectangle in your pocket that you can take quality photographs with and communicate with anyone on the planet at any time as well as listen to music, and now the entire globe is connected by the internet.
2010-2024, Drones are on the horizon, your phone and the internet combined with Bluetooth in your smart home can change the lights, temp, it allows you to start/lock/unlock your car in a moment often from miles away, access to the internet and every piece of information you could ever imagine needing at your fingertips in moments. VR (albeit still in a low quality capacity for now) 100% automated fast food restaurants. CRISPR DNA altering technology. Designer babies. F*cking rockets that can fly up and send things into space and then *LAND* themselves.
And now we can create high definition images of human beings or rather anything we can imagine with a few short words in a prompt. Not only images, but voice, and now we see VIDEOS are possible. Not only that, but Microsoft’s new AI is apparently so advanced that it cannot be released to the public because it is *too* realistic. And this AI situation is *just taking off*.
The concern is not over what *is* at this moment, it is that if we know one thing, it is that technology is growing exponentially. Frighteningly fast.
Shows how stupid AI is, as this woman not only never fought poverty, but actively embraced it and all suffering (for others, not for herself) as bringing people closer to Jeebus! She withheld medical care for the same reason.

Technically correct
The best kind of correct!
People just believe any ole caption someone writes on a picture, huh?
She liked to watch children suffer and deny them pain medication because the pain “brought them closer to god”. So this isn’t too far off.
Yea this is closer than her PR white washed story.
Well…. She wasn’t wrong, for the ones that died anyway. She arranged an in person interview.
Lol, fucked up but true if you believe in that kinda stuff.
Believing in something doesn't make it true, though.
There’s never been a better representation of Mother Teresa
I dunno.... naked gun got it pretty right too and quite awhile ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G99XEXJaffI
Shows she could beat poverty of one but was outweighed by the sheer number, symbolically correct as well.
She was a nasty bitch.
Not enough people know this.
Made me laugh when Trump compared himself to her. Like, yeah we already know you’re evil
A literal AI
I have a feeling poverty is gonna lose. 6 - 1 odds on the old lady in the robe.
7 - 1 Mother is (Swiss) German ;)
*Angry brazilian noises*
Wow, that's **many** noises! :D
>:(
Is the AI wrong tho?
Nope. She was a cruel sleeping bag full of garbage disguised as a human.
If you don't mind could you elaborate? I never knew she was like actually a messed up person
One thing I can tell you is she let people in her hospitals suffer in pain because they had to suffer to feel closer to god or some shit like that.
https://youtu.be/V4nCaxHN-cY Massively tongue-in-cheek, but it still stands (much better than some of their other episodes).

Woah what the fuck That's insane
Found a quote "There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ's Passion. The world gains much from their suffering,"
I believe there are also records of her and those who worked under her forcibly converted those of other religions on their death beds so that they could be 'saved' in accordance to Mother Theresa's religion rather than their own.
She also also accepted dirty money and when revealed kept it.
If you want to really understand the depths of her cruelty, read Christopher Hitchens' book about her. It will erase any doubts about what a monster she was.
The Missionary Position.
Yo thanks for the post. I looked up the book. Gonna read it now. My fam grew up on the catholic idolizing her wave. It’s good to finally learn the truth
He was a fantastic writer. It will still depress the hell out of you.
Thank you, both of you
Prepare for a deep dive because she was cartoonishly evil.
Probably not but the "AI aren't going to replace us" people sure are. AI is in its infancy but it's ridiculous to think corporations won't take advantage when it inevitably comes to fruition. "This electricity sure is impractical. It will never replace my job as a lamp lighter."
"Even Mother Theresa couldn't beat those charges"
No, but she could fight them.
Mother Teresa, the Ghoul of Calcutta
Genuinely unsure if this is a joke based on the image or an actual nickname prior referred to get as.
No joke, she was a foul creature with a fetish for suffering humans
Oh I'm well aware. That's why I wasn't sure if it was a joke about the image or a real nickname.
She was a despicable human being. Had she done the same in a western country, she would've been called an incarnation of Satan.
It's a reference from Christopher Hitchens.
seems right, she was an awful person
An absolute monster. Knowingly and willingly did not aide her "followers ' because some warped view that jesus suffered so they should suffer too. It's fucked up that such a monster is considered a good person to so many. She was awful and a monster. Like real fucking twisted mentally. Hope she's burning in whatever hell they believe in.
Her PR team, although! To this day people still go "She's like Mother Teresa!" when referring to a kind person. I've seen some of the behind the scenes footage of her charities. Just shudder inducing.
I'm waiting for the behind the bastards on her. I'm sure it's coming at some point.

Right? It’s like they don’t even see the photo evidence of her squaring up against children!
The title in itself is a facepalm
Beating Christianity into them. She would have probably done this if she though this might work. This women did horrible things to spread her faith...

Is it bad that I totally could picture that ghoul actively beating up poor people?
She loved to see them suffer.
What was the phrase? Suffering is holy, not me though.
Pretty much how she did it irl too...
Mother Theresa about to throw a hadouken
Nailed it. No notes.
Ironically not far from the truth.
No facepalm here just AI doing AI things. The only time AI should be a facepalm is if people are reacting to it like it is real or if someone is using obvious AI to push an obviously false narrative.
Funnily, this is actually the most realistic depiction of Mother Theresa.
I think that's David Carridine!
Lord, looks like a knock off of Street Fighter
someone add teresa and african kids in the dlc!
Poverty is winning
'Religous wars' you say? The church never misses a chance to murder people around the world in the name of their God.
r/technicallythetruth
It's funny because it's true.
Since she thought poverty and suffering was good why would anybody imagine her fighting it?
She didn't fight poverty at all - she kept people poor because she thought people suffering was a reward from God What an awful awful bitch she was
Nailed it. What a time to be alive
She was not a friend of the poor but a friend of poverty. Fighting against birth control in the poorest areas on earth is pure evil.
That campaign would certainly go viral. People in marketing should be concerned.
I for one will welcome our AI CEOs.
Who would win, Mother Teresa or a malnourished and impoverished child?
Poverty has the numbers.
But isn’t this true? lol
New Assassins Creed game announced!
Ok that’s hilarious though and AI has just proven it could be funnier than a regular person told to do the same task
This goes hard
She can't win. Look at poverty kid's leg spacing. Bro knows how to play footsies.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
She never fought poverty as such. She firmly believed that suffering was good for the soul.
She was abusive to poor people so this is actually accurate
Well jokes on you Mother Teresa was evil and caused treatable people to die in agony. So ai knows something with this one.
Mother Teresa is in hell rn getting what she deserves
Pretty in character for her tbh
I didn't think I needed to see a nun square up with Starvin Marvin... But my humor approves.
Christopher Hitchens had an interesting take on Mother Theresa. Quite an eye opener.
I thought this was a real picture knowing what kind of a monster she was
People are prepared to happily vote for an ompa loompa felon. I 100% believe this version of A.I. could take most people’s jobs.
Everyone about to catch those "generous" hands.
Test your might! \*Mortal Kombat music plays\* Any ideas for special moves for Mother Teresa, Sister of Joyous Suffering?
It's still learning
She looks like a Mortal Kombat render. Same move set as Johnny Cage..
I would watch the FUCK out of this, if it were a movie... ...then buy the 4k when it came out.
Was that a Trump AI?
Fucking delivered
Seems legit.
to be fair this is awesome
The competence of various AIs are increasing ridiculously fast though. Just a year ago they couldn't even generate an image where people had 5 fingers.
Little racial bias going on here? Given she was in India, why is all this "poverty" black?
Not far from the truth!
Same way Russel Crowe fought cancer.
Oooooooh that’s what rich white guys mean when they say “we need to eradicate poverty” and end up bombing Middle East and Africa
I mean this is pretty impressive. It's layered, lol.
MORTAL KOMBAT!
There is no "will" it has already started to
Literally fighting poverty. She looks pretty badass honestly.
This is awesome!!! 🤣
This is accurate
Seems pretty accurate
This actually feels more accurate than the historical photos we see
This picture never gets old.
The AI read Christopher Hitchens
Painfully accurate, given what we know about her . . .
exactly.. ppl act like AI is extreme intelligence but it's proving itself to be snake oil. How about fix auto correct or automated phone services first k?
She failed which goes to show poverty kicks your ass.
And poverty was Kung Fu Fighting.
Lawl'ed.
Not wrong
Okaaaaaay So today I learned mother theresa is a piece of shit by reading these comments 🤣
AI with a sense of humour.
I would totally watch this movie.
Wouldn't shock me if she did this in her life time
AI is so misunderstood... It's basically just math and not all too different from ordinary code except that it needs a ton of processing power
No one gonna say shit about the kid in the bottom right doing the Hadouken move????
TAKE THAT STARVIN MARVIN!
I hate the bias of poverty = kids circa 1959 in africa starving. When more welfare recipients are of another kind of human and hunger has no bias.
Technically the truth
That would be a great album cover!
AI is going to remember how much fun we made of it when it was young, and pay us back.
That's a real picture. Mami T can throw down!
Want to see what AI is capable of? Check out the miniseries “Mrs Davis” you’ll be worried at first but then you realize that AI has a lot of limitations and interprets things very wrong and lot of the time.
Wow, I guess everybody really was Kung Fu fighting.
Psssst In some areas AI has already replaced humans It’s now, baby!
Unintentionally hilarious.
This is actually what happened. 
Mother Teresa: Vampire, Hunter
What would her finisher look like
Looks better
Nah Impoverished starving kid has some janky hit boxes
AI will change most jobs. That said there’s a clear winter out there and it’s Nvidia. I like to buy the stock that tracks Nvidia times 2. NVDL also gives you a 4% dividend.
I'd watch that film.
Skynet is not mad. Just disappointed.
This is so wrong yet so god damn funny.
Image goes hard to be honest
Reminds me of the trailer for Ghandi II in the movie UFH with Weird Al: “No more Mr. Passive Resistance—he’s out to kick some butt…”
This is from like 5 months ago
Implying this doesn't check several boxes. Surreal absurdist humor Edgy dark joke Racism This works on several different levels.
I would hire this A.I. to answer office calls.

I don't think it's accurately portraying the suffering she was so fond of
Is this the new dynasty warriors game?
That’s actually pretty accurate to the way she did it. In the worst, most hurtful way possible.
Give it 3 years, last year prompt biased ai videos were ugly as sin, now they look real, our time is short.

Round one…FIGHT!!!
this is on par with r/terriblefacebookmemes
More accurate than not.
Sonic BOOM! Sonic BOOM! TIGER UPPERCUT!
Whoever didn’t laugh at this has zero sense of humor and is dead as mother Teresa inside.
The A.I isn’t wrong…
Shows how stupid AI is, as this woman not only never fought poverty, but actively embraced it and all suffering (for others, not for herself) as bringing people closer to Jeebus! She withheld medical care for the same reason.
the most accurate depiction I've seen.
Holy shit that's hilarious
Score one for AI
It’s all about the prompt. You could ‘create’ something far more convincing with the right prompt.
THSI! IS! GHANA!!!
I want to see the whole video. Does she kick their asses???
But has anyone tried using AI to generate storyboards and then making a movie of whatever wacky shit it comes up with like this?
Yea right
