EVER little Pappu in Indis is "doing AI" these days! Institutes teaching AI are springing up in towns like Ambikapur!

I remember a time in the 90s when every Paplu doing BSc in Ferguson was claiming to have learnt C/C++ Programming at some Computer institute! They knew the buzzwords but None of them were programmers! Not by a long shot!
