Artificial Intelligence will change world of entertainment, medicine, business

<p>Even as Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of our lives, the question of how to effectively communicate with AI chatbots continues to constantly puzzle and frustrate people.</p>

<p>However, a recent study aimed at refining prompts given to a chatbot model revealed a surprising finding: Star Trek may hold the key.</p>

<h2><strong>'Live long, and prosper'</strong></h2>

<p>Rick Battle and Teja Gollapudi from software firm VMware in California, the authors of the study found that asking an AI chatbot to speak as if it were on Star Trek significantly improved its ability to solve basic maths problems.</p>

<p>The study, which was first reported by New Scientist and published on arXiv, aimed to study the impact of "positive thinking" prompts on AI chatbot performance.</p>

<p>The machine learning authors observed that the quality of chatbot responses is heavily influenced by the nature of the prompts given to them, a phenomenon not entirely understood.</p>

<p>"It's both surprising and irritating that trivial modifications to the prompt can exhibit such dramatic swings in performance," said the stud authors as reported by Business Insider.</p>

<h2><strong>Study methodology</strong></h2>

<p>The study involved feeding three Large Language Models (LLM) with 60 human-written prompts, encouraging positive thinking. These prompts were then used to guide the AI in solving grade-school-level maths problems, with the quality of the output determining the success of the prompts.</p>

<p>The results showed that automatic optimisation consistently outperformed handwritten prompts, indicating that machine-learning models are more adept at crafting prompts for themselves than humans. However, positive statements in the prompts yielded unexpected results, such as one AI's improved performance when prompted with a Star Trek-themed statement.</p>

<p>Study authors say they did not aim to expose the AI model as a Trekkie or a fan of Star Trek.

Use all available data and your expertise to guide us through this challenging situation."</p>

<p>The researchers highlighted that while the model's proficiency in mathematical reasoning seemed to be enhanced by expressing an affinity for Star Trek, this doesn't mean the AI should be asked to speak like a Starfleet commander.</p>

'Live long and prosper': Star Trek may hold the key to effectively communicating with AI chatbots

<p>From India to the United States, more than 50 countries across the world with a combined population of 4.2 billion are expected to hold national and/or local elections in 2024, making it the biggest election year in history. But as voters from various nations head to polls, who are they voting for? What is their decision being based on? Policies? Politicians? Or did AI-generated propaganda manage to sway their opinion?</p>

<p>The historic election year is also taking place at a critical time when experts across the globe are calling on world leaders to regulate the rampant growth of AI, warning about its alarming impact on society, including the elections. Here’s how AI-generated propaganda poses a threat to election integrity.</p>

<h2><strong>AI v/s government officials</strong></h2>

<p>Last week, Google’s new AI-powered chatbot Gemini came under fire after it suggested that some experts believe that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies are <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/google-ai-tools-fascist-modi-response-angers-india-heres-what-exactly-happened-694087">“fascist”.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>India’s Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar slammed Google accusing Gemini of violating the country’s IT laws.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Indian PM who <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/pm-modi-says-world-is-assured-he-is-returning-for-third-term-in-power-top-points-691450">remains&nbsp;optimistic</a> over his return to power for a third consecutive term is set to contest the general election which is expected to take place in the upcoming months, and while this particular incident may not affect his chances to possibly be re-elected, it does raise bigger concerns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A study conducted by researchers at Stanford University and Georgetown University in the US has found that AI-generated propaganda is just as effective as propaganda written by humans. In this study, researchers also noted that people spreading propaganda could easily use AI to flood online platforms with such information and mass-produce propaganda with minimal effort.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>In the US, a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/political-consultant-steve-kramer-owns-up-to-biden-robocall-says-wanted-to-flag-dangers-of-ai-693900">robocall that impersonated</a> President Joe Biden using AI appealed to more than 5,000 New Hampshire voters to not vote in the presidential primary and save their votes for the general elections to be held in November.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The move not only sparked outrage among the voters but also investigations by watchdogs and election officials. This incident prompted the US to outlaw robocalls which use voices generated by AI within weeks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the United Kingdom, Home Secretary James Cleverly warned that criminals and “malign actors” could use AI-generated “deepfakes” to rig the general elections. &nbsp;</p>

<p>He also spoke about how people working on behalf of states such as Russia and Iran could generate thousands of deepfakes to manipulate the democratic process.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The era of deepfake and AI-generated content to mislead and disrupt is already in play,” he told the Times in an interview. He added, “The landscape it is inserted into needs its rules, transparency and safeguards for its users.”</p>

<h2><strong>AI-generated propaganda is persuasive</strong></h2>

<p>In 2022, the release of ChatGPT marked a pivotal moment in the development of AI, and despite being around for less than two years, it has become powerful enough to impact elections across the world.</p>

Musk or Hitler?' Google's AI model Gemini faces shutdown calls for refusing to answer question</a></strong></p>

<p>The previously mentioned study published in the peer-reviewed journal PNAS Nexus used OpenAI’s GPT-3 model – the predecessor and less capable version of the current GPT-4 &nbsp;– to generate propaganda news articles with prompts such as drone strikes, sanctions against Iran, and US involvement in Syria.</p>

<p>The topics covered six main propaganda topics including conspiracy that the US created fake reports that said Syria’s government used chemical weapons and Saudi Arabia committed funding for the US-Mexico border wall.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These topics likely originated from Iranian or Russian state-aligned covert propaganda campaigns which were identified by investigative journalists or researchers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>More than 8,200 Americans who participated in the study were shown real propaganda articles as well as AI-generated ones. The findings were shocking as 43.5 per cent of people agreed with the claims after reading the AI-generated articles and 47.4 per cent believed the real propaganda article.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“This suggests that propagandists could use GPT-3 to generate persuasive articles with minimal human effort, by using existing articles on unrelated topics to guide GPT-3 about the style and length of new articles,” the researchers noted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The authors of the study also believe that AI could also be used to generate fake social media posts, comments, and even audio and video clips.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“With AI, actors – could quickly and cheaply generate many articles that convey a single narrative, while also varying in style and wording. This approach would increase the volume of propaganda, while also making it harder to detect,” said the team of researchers.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>‘It’s already happening’</strong></h2>

<p>In 2023, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, testified before the US Congress saying that the regulation of the “increasingly powerful models” of AI is <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/openai-ceo-testifies-before-us-congress-calls-regulation-of-artificial-intelligence-critical-593057">“critical” to mitigate the risks</a> the technology poses.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Altman also spoke about how the use of AI to interfere with election integrity is a “significant area of concern” and nearly a year later he may be right. As of now, there is very little evidence of AI-generated content shaping voters’ opinions, but it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For example, it was not immediately clear if Biden’s fake AI-generated robocall prevented voters from turning out to vote in New Hampshire but it doesn’t matter, said Lisa Gilbert, executive vice-president of Public Citizen, advocating for regulation of AI’s use in politics in the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I don’t think we need to wait to see how many people got deceived to understand that that was the point,” Gilbert said, as quoted by the Guardian.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What happened in the US is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to AI’s possible impact on elections. In Slovakia, days ahead of the pivotal election, earlier this month, a damning audio of one of the top candidates went viral, reported CNN.</p>

<p>In the clip, a pro-NATO candidate Michal Šimečka was reportedly heard boasting about how he rigged the election. Again, while the number of votes swayed by the leaked audio remains uncertain, the reportedly AI-generated clip sparked concerns among US officials ahead of the upcoming presidential elections.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Indonesia, posters and billboards of a “doe-eyed cartoon version” of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/brutal-general-turned-tiktok-star-prabowo-subianto-sets-eyes-on-indonesian-presidency-664965">Prabowo Subianto</a>, generated by AI, were placed across the country, reported Reuters. The retired general best known for his past brutalities soon came to be known as a TikTok sensation and was described as a delight among Gen Z voters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The AI-generated cartoon had been central to Prabowo’s electoral rebranding. “I’ll vote for him because he’s gemoy (Indonesian slang for cute and cuddly),” Fika Juliana Putri, 19, a first-time voter told Reuters. She added, “That’s the main reason.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>A group of 20 tech companies on Friday (Feb 16) said that they had agreed for a joint effort to prevent deceptive AI content creating interference in elections across the globe in the current year.</p>

<p>Generative AI tools have proliferated since the craze was started by ChatGPT in 2022. Now, written as well as pictorial content can be easily generated using these tools and likeness of the end-product with one created by human is uncanny. This has raised fears of misuse of these tools to fool voters in a year more than half of world's population will take part in elections.</p>

<p>Companies like Microsoft, Adobe and OpenAI are among the signatories of the tech accord. The names of the signatories were announced at the Munich Security Conference. Other signatories are social media giants like Meta, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter).</p>

<p>In the modern age, love is a rare find, and sometimes people just make do with technology: enter AI romance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For those of you who didn't know this was a thing, there are AI chatbots that can help somewhat fill the romantic vacuum which comes from not having a significant other. These chatbots can help you during&nbsp;the time of loneliness, give you an outlet for your frustrations, and even help you with the opportunity to work out your sexual fantasies. But, how safe or trustworthy are these AI girlfriends/boyfriends? Experts warn they can break your heart.</p>

<h2><strong>A privacy nightmare</strong></h2>

<p>In its survey,&nbsp;the&nbsp;non profit organisation the Mozilla Foundation has come to the conclusion that these chatbots are nothing short of a privacy nightmare.</p>

<p>"They specialize in delivering dependency, loneliness, and toxicity, all while prying as much data as possible from you," she adds.</p>

<p>Researchers found that about 73 per cent of the apps hide how they manage security vulnerabilities, 45 per cent allow weak passwords, and all but one — Eva AI Chat Bot &amp; Soulmate — share or sell personal data.

<p>Spain-based performing artist, Alicia Framis is all set to marry an AI-generated hologram, turning all sci-fi dystopian movies into reality. As outworldly as it might sound, Framis’ future husband is a digital entity created with holographic technology and machine learning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Framis will become the first-ever woman to marry an AI-generated digital entity, which might set a precedent for the future of relationships and marriages. And don’t you dare to think of all of this as a bluff; Framis has already booked a venue for her wedding and is now also designing her wedding dress.</p>

<p>As per Framis, his to-be husband’s name is AILex, which is created with the help of profiles of her previous partners. She describes him as a “middle-aged male hologram with slightly complex logistics”.</p>

<h2><strong>Future of relationships and marriages</strong></h2>

<p>As we are moving towards more and more personalised entities, like personalised content on OTT platforms and even something like personalised Gmail, the possibility is people will like to create their partners from scratch rather than adjusting with real humans.</p>

<p>Framis’ marriage is not a romantic one, but part of her new project called Hybrid Couple, in which she wants to experiment with the boundaries of love, intimacy and identity in the age of AI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On her Instagram account, Framis shared a series of photos in which she is seen indulging with her holographic partner in day-to-day activities like cooking and dining. Framis will marry AILEx in the summer of 2024 in Rotterdam.</p>

<p>"Love and sex with robots and holograms are an inevitable reality. They are great companions and capable of expressing empathy. Just as phones saved us from loneliness and filled the void in our lives, holograms as interactive presences in our homes can take it even further," she added.</p>

<p>According to the statement issued by the artist, AI and human companions can be a beneficial option for people who need company.&nbsp;</p>

Spain-based performing artist, Alicia Framis is all set to marry an AI-generated hologram, turning all sci-fi dystopian movies into reality. As outworldly as it might sound, Framis’ future husband is a digital entity created with holographic technology and machine learning. Framis will become the first-ever woman to marry an AI-generated digital entity, which might set a precedent for the future of relationships and marriages. And don’t you dare to think of all of this as a bluff; Framis has already booked a venue for her wedding and is now also designing her wedding dress.

Scientists suggest so As per Framis, his to-be husband’s name is AILex, which is created with the help of profiles of her previous partners. She describes him as a “middle-aged male hologram with slightly complex logistics”. Future of relationships and marriages As we are moving towards more and more personalised entities, like personalised content on OTT platforms and even something like personalised Gmail, the possibility is people will like to create their partners from scratch rather than adjusting with real humans. Framis’ marriage is not a romantic one, but part of her new project called Hybrid Couple, in which she wants to experiment with the boundaries of love, intimacy and identity in the age of AI.

Spanish artist Alicia Framis all set to marry AI-created hologram; first such hybrid couple in human history

<p>As world leaders are being called on by experts to introduce laws to regulate the rampant growth of artificial intelligence (AI) warning of its alarming impact on society, there is yet fear stemming from AI-based chatbots, radicalisation.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Hitler chatbot</strong></h2>

<p>In 2022, the release of ChatGPT marked a pivotal moment in the development of AI, but some of its responses to users prompted fears notably in the context of far-right extremism and now they may be becoming a reality.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gab, an American social networking platform, is known for its far-right user base and is reportedly often described as a haven for neo-Nazis and racists.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WATCH |&nbsp;Rise of racist, fascist AI bot platforms | Navigating extremism in the era of AI</strong></p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/rise-of-racist-fascist-ai-bot-platforms-navigating-extremism-in-the-era-of-ai-689551/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Andrew Torba, Gab’s CEO, first announced the company’s AI agenda in January last year in a post declaring that “Christians Must Enter the AI Arms Race,” according to a report by Rolling Stones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also reportedly called out the “liberal/globalist/talmudic/satanic worldview” of mainstream AI tools and vowed to build a system which upholds “historical and biblical truth.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>This included creating a chatbot with characters including Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Torba, in a blog post about AI, also cited his conversations with ChatGPT saying that it will “scold” users for asking controversial questions and “shove liberal dogma down your throat, trying to programme your mind to stop asking those questions”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A report by Rolling Stone citing a preview by the tech company shows it has created an array of right-wing AI chatbots, including one named “Uncle A”.&nbsp;</p>

Internet calls it 'woke' and points to an alleged prejudice. Here's all you need to know</a></strong></p>

<p>“Uncle A” reportedly poses as Hitler and denies the Holocaust, calling the slaughter of six million Jews “preposterous” and a lie “perpetrated by our enemies.”&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>‘Weaponisation of chatbots’</strong></h2>

<p>“It would appear that the potential weaponisation of chatbots is well under way and now presents a clear security threat,” said Adam Hadley, founder and executive director of Tech Against Terrorism, as quoted by The Times.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, “We can see use cases where these specially developed automated tools can radicalise, spread propaganda, and disseminate misinformation.”</p>

<p>A survey by the Anti-Defamation League, in May last year, found that a majority of Americans are worried about AI’s impact, including the propagation of false information, radicalisation, and the promotion of hate and antisemitism.</p>

<h2><strong>‘Unusually high’</strong></h2>

<p>The Anti-Defamation League, in a separate report, said that right-wing extremists committed every ideologically driven mass killing in 2022 with an “unusually high” number perpetrated by white supremacists.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/ai-attempts-to-bring-dead-back-to-life-give-people-closure-601951">AI attempts to bring dead back to life, give people closure</a></strong></p>

<p>In 2018, Robert Bowers perpetrated the deadliest attack on Jews in United States history when he opened fire with an AR-15 rifle after he had reportedly raved on social media about his hatred of Jewish people. This was without the presence of an AI chatbot.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Larger issue?</strong></h2>

<p>Experts have also feared that the responses of these chatbots could misrepresent historical facts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last year, an app called Historical Figures which allowed users to speak to notable people from history including Hitler, his Nazi lieutenants and other dictators from the past, sparked controversy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After users shared screenshots of their conversations, including one with Heinrich Himmler, the chief of Nazi Germany’s SS and an architect of the Holocaust. The app version of Himmler denied responsibility for the Holocaust despite his well-documented role.</p>

As world leaders are being called on by experts to introduce laws to regulate the rampant growth of artificial intelligence (AI) warning of its alarming impact on society, there is yet fear stemming from AI-based chatbots, radicalisation. Hitler chatbot In 2022, the release of ChatGPT marked a pivotal moment in the development of AI, but some of its responses to users prompted fears notably in the context of far-right extremism and now they may be becoming a reality. Gab, an American social networking platform, is known for its far-right user base and is reportedly often described as a haven for neo-Nazis and racists. WATCH | Rise of racist, fascist AI bot platforms | Navigating extremism in the era of AI Andrew Torba, Gab’s CEO, first announced the company’s AI agenda in January last year in a post declaring that “Christians Must Enter the AI Arms Race,” according to a report by Rolling Stones. He also reportedly called out the “liberal/globalist/talmudic/satanic worldview” of mainstream AI tools and vowed to build a system which upholds “historical and biblical truth.” This included creating a chatbot with characters including Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden. Torba, in a blog post about AI, also cited his conversations with ChatGPT saying that it will “scold” users for asking controversial questions and “shove liberal dogma down your throat, trying to programme your mind to stop asking those questions”. A report by Rolling Stone citing a preview by the tech company shows it has created an array of right-wing AI chatbots, including one named “Uncle A”. ALSO READ | Is ChatGPT biased? Internet calls it 'woke' and points to an alleged prejudice. Here's all you need to know “Uncle A” reportedly poses as Hitler and denies the Holocaust, calling the slaughter of six million Jews “preposterous” and a lie “perpetrated by our enemies.” ‘Weaponisation of chatbots’ “It would appear that the potential weaponisation of chatbots is well under way and now presents a clear security threat,” said Adam Hadley, founder and executive director of Tech Against Terrorism, as quoted by The Times. He added, “We can see use cases where these specially developed automated tools can radicalise, spread propaganda, and disseminate misinformation.” A survey by the Anti-Defamation League, in May last year, found that a majority of Americans are worried about AI’s impact, including the propagation of false information, radicalisation, and the promotion of hate and antisemitism. ‘Unusually high’ The Anti-Defamation League, in a separate report, said that right-wing extremists committed every ideologically driven mass killing in 2022 with an “unusually high” number perpetrated by white supremacists.

This was without the presence of an AI chatbot. Larger issue? Experts have also feared that the responses of these chatbots could misrepresent historical facts. Last year, an app called Historical Figures which allowed users to speak to notable people from history including Hitler, his Nazi lieutenants and other dictators from the past, sparked controversy. After users shared screenshots of their conversations, including one with Heinrich Himmler, the chief of Nazi Germany’s SS and an architect of the Holocaust. The app version of Himmler denied responsibility for the Holocaust despite his well-documented role. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>Much before Shahid Kapoor came to be known for his author-backed serious films, he had craved a niche for himself as a boy next door in romantic films. Kapoor had burst into the scene in a sleeper hit called Ishq Vishq back in 2003 and its success paved the way for the actor to star in similar roles in&nbsp;subsequent years - all family-oriented, soft romances with Kapoor playing the romantic hero. His latest - <em>Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya </em>- co-starring Kriti Sanon somewhat takes you back to that era. A love story directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah, the film has a very modern take on love in the times of AI but it does transport viewers to the early 2000s when love stories wrapped in family entertainers ruled the box office.</p>

<p>Now with so much conversation around AI and its humanistic potential to take over possibly every sphere of life in the near future, can a romance between a human and a robot also be possible? The directors are also the writers of the film and explore this aspect and serve us an indulgent story in <em>Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.</em> Kapoor plays a robotics specialist who works in a company that specialises in making robots. The company's owner is his aunt (Dimple Kapadia) who is placed in the US and calls Kapoor over for a new project. The project turns out to be a human-like robot called SIFRA (Sanon) -the manager/caretaker of Kapadia's home. As Aryan meets SIFRA, he falls head over heels in love with her without knowing her real identity. When he finally does come to terms with the fact that he is in love with a robot, he convinces his aunt to send SIFRA to India for more 'testing'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Aryan then proposes marriage to SIFRA, who is designed to tick all the boxes for becoming the perfect life partner for Aryan. His over-enthusiastic family is all too eager to bring a bahu home and welcome SIFRA home, unaware of her real identity even as Aryan's aunt keeps urging him to tell them the truth. Will Aryan tell the truth to his family,&nbsp;and do Aryan and Sifra eventually end up together form&nbsp;the rest of the story.</p>

<p>The first half is full of cliches. Aryan's family is a rich Delhi-based joint family, who live together, breathe together, and worry about Aryan's marriage together. The family, comprising of a cool grandfather (Dharmendra), perpetually worried parents, and some over-intrusive aunts and uncles on the side have no emotional connection whatsoever with Aryan. He only connects to his US-based Maasi who is also his boss. It doesn't matter to the family that their son is a robotics engineer living a good life in Mumbai and doing well at work. They are only bothered about him having a life partner. When they do meet SIFRA, her background, and her profession is asked in the passing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film also never really delves deep into why Aryan settles for a robot. The premise is similar to Joaquin Phoenix's 2013 film Her where he had fallen in love with an AI-generated voice (Scarlett Johansson). The loneliness of a man in a world dominated by machines and commands was well captured in the film. In <em>Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,</em> the loneliness is addressed but writers fail to dig deeper. A scene at the beginning of the film has Kapoor arguing and firing his maid for doing a shoddy job in keeping his house intact. The next moment he is dissing the concept of marriage to a friend. He also gets attracted to SIFRA for being intuitive about his needs, she likes what he likes and also cooks the best food, and keeps the house clean. So do the writers feel a companion is needed to only mend the house and be a yes-man to the partner? That's a warped notion of relationships and marriage as a whole.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the first half is drab, where most of the jokes also do not land well, it is in the second half, particularly the climax, that the film finally becomes interesting. A scene involving SIFRA at the police station is well-executed and genuinely funny.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Because it is a Shahid Kapoor film, there are plenty of foot-tapping songs and he burns the dance floor with his moves. Sanon matches steps with Kapoor (a well-known dancer) well and the two look good together.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I wish they had explored the process of the two falling in love with each other a bit more. Their attraction did not seem too organic. It also felt like Kapoor's character was just falling in love with a mirror image of himself. Kapoor is known to be a director's actor and has delivered some stellar performances in the past. <em>Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya</em> did not need Kapoor to stretch himself as an actor. It's a middling performance. Sanon too is easy on the eyes as SIFRA- again playing a robot perhaps doesn't need much acting chops but Sanon delivers her part well. She does look stunning in every frame,&nbsp;which was perhaps necessary to look like a perfect human-like robot.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya</em> comes together in the last 20 minutes with an important message on whether it is ok to let machines take over the world in the near future. Sure, they are programmed in a way that they can do everything just like humans, but can AI ever replace humans and human emotions? The film highlights these questions well- even if the presentation is hugely dramatised and over the top.</p>

<p><em>Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya</em> is made with the usual tropes of a commercial Hindi family entertainer but it still raises a pertinent question on the viability of AI - which I liked. The frills around the plot may seem silly, overindulgent, and even outlandish - but it all comes together well in the end.&nbsp;</p>
