Somewhere in the Ministry of the Indian Government, an AI service provider's salesperson was passionately selling the power of AI.
“Saar, it can do this, it can do that,” he said with conviction.
To the politician and the bureaucrat, it all sounded eerily familiar—like the lofty promises heard during election campaigns.
But this time, when they tested and questioned it, the AI wasn't just smoke and mirrors. It wasn’t a pre-recorded demo, nor was it cleverly disguised vaporware. Heck, it wasn’t even a staged live demo—it was real-time stuff.
Impressed, the politician and bureaucrat decided to throw the ultimate challenge.
“Can it fix all the issues in our EPFO site?” they asked.
And just like that, the salesperson vanished—much like a genie who disappears the moment you ask for the one wish that’s just a bit too difficult.

Reacting to all three of your posts on AI.
We have to define AI. If it's LLM you are referring to, no thank you. I don't want to have anything to do with it. And if you continue to "polish" your posts using LLM, I will stop reading your posts !!! I would rather have an "error" that truly reflects you, than a plastic sterilised blah blah.
On medical matters, the power of AI is enormous. You have mentioned an example of diagnosis - yes, there is value there but only in the hands of a trained medical professional. In the hands of an amateur, I wouldn't trust it even if I just have a cold.
The real medical goldminem I think, is in drug discovery and in the medical cure area. The possibilities are limitless, with just today's technology. I am seeing a revolution in medicine and therapeutics.
Beware of the hype. There are potential game changing areas. And there is also a lot of bullshit.
