Now the discussion of Biriyani might have cropped up after Satya Nadella's had a disagreement with a ChatGPT calling the Hyderabad biriyani a South Indian tiffin. Nadella admonished the ChatGPT a popular AI-enabled software and a chat robot at the Future Ready Technology Summit in Bengaluru on Wednesday when he asked the 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 and biriyani. The Hyderabadi in Nadella came out and he told the 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! " (With inputs from PTI)
