AI Response Controversy and Netizens’ Reactions
One particular post stirred controversy when the Krutrim AI chatbot, upon being asked whether India was a country before independence, provided a response that some users deemed inaccurate. The controversy led to discussions about AI hallucination, with comparisons made to the response of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
