To Be or Not To Be AI?

There's a popular song picturised on Dilip Kumar that was originally used in the Hindi film 'Gopi, but has since acquired a kind of cult status and is often quoted as a commentary on kalyug or the age we live in.

- SUPRIYA NEWAR

The line goes like this: “Ramchandra keh gaye Siya se, aisa Kaljug ayega Hans chugega daana dunka, kauya moti khayega.”

Loosely translated, it would mean that Ramchandra says to Sita that a day would surely come when the swan will peck at broken grain while the crow will feast on pearls.

Where am I going with this? I find myself suddenly reminded of this line and wondering whether we can juxtapose the swan with humans and the crow with artificial intelligence, to deduce that humans are increasingly behaving more and more robotically while software and tools such as 'ChatGPT' are becoming, quite amazingly, more and more human.
