I'll know we're winning when everyone has stopped saying "AI tech is inevitable," like it's an angry God we're powerless to stop, and starts making fun of it. It deserves no diffidence, no respect, no fear. This is the way

A small street vendor selling beverages possibly in Thailand, I'm not sure. Over them is a large sign which reads "ChaiGPT (Genuinely Pure Tea) enhanced with AI (Adrak and Ilaichi)

@Ciela @ElleGray I’m more of an I fan than A. (Its ginger (aadrak) & cardamom (ilaichi); not that anyone asked. Sorry)

I was wrong, this cart's text is Thai

@ikdudeth @ElleGray I'm pretty sure it's India. I was there last year and consumed mass quantities. Here is an article convincing me that I wasn't hallucinating. :)

@ikdudeth @ElleGray Apologies for the incorrect @s. I swear they exist in India too with the same color carts and sign and the article is using a crop of the same photo.

Nobody باچیز नास्ति (he/him)

@ElleGray Adrak is not a Thai word though, so isn't Ilaichi, both words from the Indian subcontinent. Writing does look Thai, but it's similar to Telugu or Kannada too.

It's a mystery or maybe in an area with Indian immigrants/expats who will read the English lettering.

Update: looks like Bangalore and Kannada
See images for comparison of lettering.
