I asked an AI model to generate a parrot.
It confidently generated a crow.
And then—metaphorically—set it free.
“Maine bola tota bana, isne kavva bana ke uda diya hawa mein.”
That one sentence unintentionally explains a lot about the current AI era.
What Actually Happened
- The intent was clear
- The output was confident
- The alignment was… poetic
The AI didn’t fail.
It reinterpreted.
The Lesson (Hidden in the Joke)
AI models don’t obey — they approximate.
They don’t really hear your request; they predict a plausible world in which your request already happened.
Sometimes that world contains:
- A crow instead of a parrot
- Confidence instead of correctness
- Creativity instead of compliance
Why This Matters
If you expect AI to behave like a deterministic tool, you’ll be frustrated.
If you treat it like a highly capable intern with a vivid imagination, you’ll:
- Move faster
- Catch mistakes earlier
- Laugh more often
CTO Take
- Specification beats prompting
- Constraints beat vibes
- Review the bird before you let it fly
Because you might ask for a tota…
…and end up releasing a very confident kavva into production.
