May be you can murmur, I'm making much ado about nothing. If you have any such notion, please change pretty fast for God's sake. Now AI is competing real human intelligence at supersonic speed.
Now turn left, turn right ....turn any side, every one, even every Tom, Dick and Harry speak more with AI than even to his kith and kin.
Some real life scenarios:
I. Chennai Mega 📚 Book Fair 2026
At every Annual Book fair I buy quite a number of books. The list includes Brother Soma Valliappan's new titles. He is used to autograph his books that his readers buy. This time he asked me whether I bought his latest title about the Monstrous AI. Of course, quite some days ago, prior to Book fair time, I read his article on AI in a daily. I bought the his book on AI, but am yet to read it. Will share my reading experience once I read it.
II A recent representation before a Learned Assessing Officer:
A client had sold about 5, 6 plots. On the consideration difference between actual sale price and Registrar's assessed value, there was a scrutiny covering just a few properties and not the entire sold properties. Despite Registrar's adoption of a particular value for a property, it could be possible for myriad reason, one may not find a buyer at such high valuation. It happened so in the client's case. Later the client preferred reference to valuation by Department valuer(DVO). The DVO visited the locality, did see the ground reality and assessed at a slightly lower valuation. Now seeing that the other plots were missed out for scrutiny, the appellate authority called for remand report from the jurisdiction officer after giving an opportunity of being heard to the client. Fortunately the entire plots were in the same locality sequentially. We contented that the same DVO's valuation held good for the other plots also.
Though the officer could see the merit in the contention, she was not sure of her authority to accept our view. She immediately hit AI and tried to find out whether she could statutoriliy make her own opinion and report back to appellate authority.
III Own property sale, will it qualify as business asset and be eligible for presumptive taxation for a much lower, meagre deemed surplus?
AI in no second answered in the negative with elaborative reasoning based on tax statutes.
IV About Thindal Murugan Temple
I just keyed in to Gemini AI to get details of Thindal Murugan Temple.
As if I asked a friend knowing about the place, in seconds it kept answering me and asked what further, more information I needed. It even referred to Arunagirinathar's covering one hymn on Thindal Murugan in his Tiruppugazh.
V A centre page Article by Sashi Tharoor in New Indian Express, edn 14th Mar 2026.:
Tharoor was referring to Physicist Max Teg Mark's title, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
Two excerpts:
Excerpt 1, the dangerous one:
".. Tegmark argues that we are currently like a group of children playing with a live bomb, excited by its shiny casing while having no understanding of its explosiveness."
Excerpt 2:
"....This philosophical stance led him to explore the inevitable rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) - machines capable of performing any intellectual task as well as a human. Tegmark cautioned that the primary risk of such a system is malevolence, but competence."
Yes.
It's - AI - competing.
Now you can second-check any professional's work - like your Doctor's diagnosis, your legal, accounting, taxation advisors' expert opinions.
Then, can AI be pucca, so surefire, fool-proof?
My God.
Recently Mr Nitin Paranjpe was delivering key Note Address - Nani Palkhivala Foundation Memorial Lecture. The Topic: AI impact for Am Admi.
There was q & a soon after his address. Boys from Padma Seshadri and Vidya Mandir were asking. One boy asked the same, if AI's data is wrong, could Corporates go blindly after that?
Mr Panajpe's answer: No, the responsibility and accountability still lies with Corporate.
Take heart, once John F Kennedy said:
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
