A LinkedIn post by management consultant Tushar Jejani about a Delhi cab driver learning English using ChatGPT has drawn attention online. Jejani recounted taking a cab at around 4:13 am in New Delhi, where the driver was speaking English on his phone, initially making Jejani uncomfortable. The driver then started a conversation, speaking English while Jejani replied in Hindi. When asked who he was speaking to, the driver said he was practicing English on ChatGPT. He added that he was learning for his newborn daughter, saying he would teach her when she grows up. Jejani reflected that the driver was not just learning a language but trying to build a different starting line for his daughter. He also noted that AI gives everyone access to technology across all strata of Indian society, writing, "No coaching class. No gatekeeper. Only intent and a smartphone with AI." The post sparked discussion on AI's impact, with one user commenting that AI's greatest impact may be removing barriers that kept ambition from becoming opportunity.
