Two days back, I was doing some work on my laptop and somewhere between the tasks, for some help, I opened a tab on Chrome and opened ChatGPT and started a new conversation, in the start I tried to have a generalised discussion.

Then it suddenly called me Bhai, and I was in shock. I showed it to my roommate, and he was amazed to see that. Here is the screenshot of the chat as well.

Then, when my work was completed, I went back to the conversation, not for another conversation, but this time for reflection.

It led me to think deeply and question myself about it, is this ChatGPT I'm talking to or some other human, who is it that I'm talking to?

This leads me to another question, Are these AI algorithms so much advanced, that they can understand human emotions? Or are they just being trained like that?

This leads me to another set of questions and deep thinking,

Are these algorithms truly starting to understand us? Or have they just mastered the art of pretending?

Can an AI calling me ‘bhai’ ever carry the weight a real brotherhood holds? Or is that illusion good enough for my brain to believe it?

With these questions in my mind, a bigger question arose from here, which was,

Will we ever be able to see towards technology the same way that we used to look, or will this bring out some new perspective towards them?

Will we ever look at technoWhat happens when machines stop feeling like tools, and start feeling like… companions?
