Blog me...curiosity redefined

     Do you often use words like “Yes, please,” “Thank you,” or “Sure, that would be great” with AI-based LLMs like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, etc.?      Well, it may seem like we are being courteous to them, treating them as we would treat any other human being.

We might have succeeded to a great extent. But at what cost? Have we really invented something? I see majorly discoveries around me.  Partly to be blamed on our education system for killing the creativity in us.     Here is the irony - we are empowering another ...
