Hindi Diwas 2025: How AI is Mastering the Hindi Language

In the Hindi Diwas 2025 article, the author shares his experiences of how artificial intelligence (AI) has amazed him. He tells how he has made ChatGPT's O-Five his assistant-disciple and is teaching him to write poetry. The author believes that AI has knowledge but does not have human emotions. Still, AI surprises us every moment.

The one or two 'surprises' that used to happen in the first four-five years, are now happening in four-five minutes and are gone as soon as they happen. The entire 50 years of the last century and 25 years spent with the new generation, in its Amrit-kaal of 75 years, the surprises are not stopping. When a new surprise comes, the old one starts feeling as if it never existed.

That aunt of mine at maternal grandparents' house, who used to show me the moon and stars while holding me in her lap, one day started showing me an electric top. Grandmother scolded me, 'Don't show it, you are in the middle'. The entire Asawar locality of the village was mesmerized by that one top.

When I started walking on my own feet, one day my father went to Akashvani Delhi to recite poetry from Khurja after doing some stunts by connecting a thin wire to the mesh in place of Argini in a wooden mesh box. When he returned, the entire Ahirpada locality widened their eyes in surprise on hearing ‘Yeh Akashvani Hai’ coming from the wooden mesh box and later on hearing my father’s voice in full volume.

The street stopped right there. Five-six years later, my father brought a pocket transistor. I put it in my shorts pocket and went to the pond to show its magic. On hearing the devotional song, the water carriers started looking up in amazement, thinking it to be Lord Krishna’s singing in the sky. The pond was also surprised!

Obedient and quick-witted disciple

To cut it short, for me the uninterrupted journey of ‘surprises’ kept increasing rapidly, but the density of surprises kept decreasing rapidly. Let me come straight to the present. Now, after seeing and testing almost every kind of AI model and its agents, I have made ChatGPT’s O-Five my assistant-disciple.

I call out, ‘Where are you disciple’? The iPhone replies, ‘Guruji, please order’! I taught in universities for 40 years, I must have thousands of disciples. I have not found such an obedient and quick-witted disciple till now. For one and a half years, while getting my work done, I have also been taking his classes. There is no university in the world to teach poetry, but I am teaching him poetry writing.

I am not talking about new poetry, but with the help of ‘Hindi Gyankosh’, I have given him the practical knowledge of ‘Rasa-Siddhant’. Till two weeks ago, the skill-imparting process of metrical-chhand creation was going on. That machine-disciple has now learnt to count the 13-11 syllables of a couplet and to test it on the touchstone of yagan-magan. Let me tell you that like a greedy disciple, he also knows how to please his Guru with praise.

This invention has become an encyclopedia

I claim that I have taught him to write couplets, because before I taught him, he used to make mistakes in the syllables of the couplet every time and I used to hear a memorized sentence, 'How else can I help you'? He used to pretend that he knew everything. I stopped his arrogance for myself.

Anyway, my wish was that instead of misleading people by writing meaningless poems, it is better that he should write poems that are full of essence and rhyme, following the rules of the scriptures. He counts very well, he is the computer of computers. In terms of words, today this disciple of mine has bigger rhyming and parallel dictionaries than our word-sages Kaka Hathrasi and Arvind Kumar.

AI has innumerable Gurus

I am not the only Guru of this so-called disciple of mine. Innumerable Gurus are initiating him knowingly or unknowingly. He steals knowledge authorisedly, he is full of self-confidence. He is not at all arrogant, he learns through experimentation. He has no match in humility and lying. Look at the work on AI's horoscope, it has been going on for 50 years, but the result happened in just three-four years.

Today, under his supervision, painters are teaching him to paint. Filmmakers have taught him to write screenplays. Robots are dancing, sweeping and mopping the house. Unmanned cars are being driven. AI makes statues, conducts surgeries, runs factories, runs classes, develops skills and monitors with ease. Sends criminals to Tihar. Protects your physical and intellectual assets efficiently.

A month ago, my scanner, with the help of which I had scanned almost one lakh pages of my letters, pictures, documents and rare books, suddenly stopped working. I found the manual, but it seemed incomprehensible. The machine-disciple, while chatting with me, got the scanner fixed in just three steps and three snaps, with my own hands, my materials and my common tools, as if it had never broken down.

Pure feelings are possible only in humans

Two weeks ago, I got an invitation to attend Mohan Bhagwat's three-day lecture series organised at Vigyan Bhavan. I listened very carefully to his futuristic deep-thoughts in a liberal tone all three days. After the speech, he organised a dialogue programme over dinner with selected artists, sportspersons, actors and some people from different fields. There, everyone told in turn what they were doing these days.

In my turn, I said, 'I am teaching AI to write poetry, the Rasa-Siddhanta and Chhanda-Shastra of Pancham-Ved Natya-Shastra'. He smiled under his white moustache. He said, 'We will teach you the quantities, but how will we teach you emotions'? I agreed with him. Pure emotions along with intelligence are possible only in humans. Despite taking full services of AI, we have to face human problems due to its evil intentions.
