Microsoft Executive Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella had a disagreement with ChatGPT and the software apologised. All this over biriyani.
ChatGPT is a popular AI-enabled software and a chat robot.
Nadella asked ChatGPT to come up with the most popular South Indian tiffin items in the future, and it came up with the usual suspects — idli, dosa, and vada.
But among the options was biriyani, and that seems to have left a bad taste in Nadella’s mouth.
He told ChatGPT that as a Hyderabadi, the software cannot insult his intelligence by calling Biriyani a South Indian “tiffin”.
And according to Nadella, the software said, “I am sorry!”
And to keep the dialogue going after this, Nadella asked ChatGPT to create a play between idli and dosa over who was better.
To add literature to the batter, Nadella asked the software to make the dialogue a part of a Shakespearean play!
Nadella was speaking at the Future Ready Technology Summit in Bengaluru on Wednesday and decided to introduce the crowd to a light-hearted ChatGPT (popular AI-enabled software) conversation before getting into his presentation about the cutting-edge AI and Cloud innovation taking place in India.
The Microsoft Chairman and CEO, who is on a four-day visit to India, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and pledged the company’s support in helping the country realise the Digital India vision.
The Microsoft top honcho described his meeting with the PM as “insightful” and lauded the government’s deep focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth driven by digital transformation.
“It’s inspiring to see the government’s deep focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth led by digital transformation and we’re looking forward to helping India realize the Digital India vision and be a light for the world,” Nadella tweeted on Thursday.

Hyderabad-born Nadella has appreciated India for building the public digital infrastructure for the public good. Nadella has also highlighted the importance of driving inclusivity and empowerment through technology and economic growth, and asserted that the company is “very committed to India”.
As part of Microsoft’s Tech for Good and Education showcase in Delhi on Wednesday, Nadella did a walk through, interacting with teachers, students and professionals who are making a difference in society, by leveraging various Microsoft programs, initiatives and tools.
