The power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to surprise humankind in more ways than one can imagine. AI tools such as ChatGPT have trickled into our daily lives, making our jobs easier, faster, and more efficient.
In a latest incident that reiterates how AI can be a game-changer if used judiciously, a non-Kannada student sought ChatGPT help to communicate with a Kannadiga auto driver in Bengaluru using ChatGPT’s voice assistant. A recent video showcases the non-Kannada youth giving an English audio prompt to ChatGPT in English to bargain with the auto driver on auto fare. He hands over the mobile to the auto driver, who then negotiates with ChatGPT in Kannada and reduces the auto fare from Rs 200 to Rs 120.
The video went viral on social media, with netizens praising the non-Kannadiga, the auto driver, and ChatGPT for effectively utilising AI. Many even opined that ChatGPT could be handy for North Indians, especially in a culturally and linguistically rooted region like Karnataka, where several incidents of abuse and attacks on non-Kannada speakers came to light in recent years.
In a similar story of AI helping the common man, a Bangladeshi man made headlines recently when a video of him seeking ChatGPT’s assistance in Bangla while choosing a red-fleshed and perfectly ripe watermelon went viral on social media. Well, talk about technology being innovative and becoming more user-friendly in the everyday lives of the common man.
