[संगीत] आप सभी लोगों को मेरा नमस्कार। हम सभी जानते हैं कि आज हम एआई के दौर में जी रहे हैं। वो एआई जो दिन प्रतिदिन लगातार हमसे बेहतर होता जा रहा है और हमें रोज नई-नई चीजें सिखा रहा है। हमें कुछ जानना होता है। हमें कुछ पता करना होता है। हमें कोई नई टेक्नोलॉजी सीखनी होती है या हमें अपने बारे में ही हमारी पसंद की कोई चीज जाननी होती है तो हम एआई से पूछते हैं। और एआई हमारे मनचाहा जवाब भी हमें देता है। कई बार ऐसा होता है कि जब हम कुछ पूछ रहे होते हैं तो वह हमें ठीक से जवाब नहीं देता और वह बोलता है व्हाट डू यू मीन ...

Before I begin, I would like to ask you a question. Have you ever heard about what do you want to be when you grow up. Who has heard of that question.Can I see a raise of hands now. Put them down. And I want to ask another question.Who wants to be a doctor. A few of you. I see you guys even at the back.A teacher. None.

Okay, so I don't know who came up with that system, but I'd like to unsubscribe, ...

[Music] We all have versions of ourselves that people see. The one that looks composed, accomplished, put together. On paper, I check a lot of boxes.Violin for almost eight years.
