I am here again with another fiction story, theme is coexistence of AI and Human. I have signed up for storytellers bloghop for 4th time in a row.
It’s been a month and I am yet to get that picture perfect shot (means a perfect story)
I am not really convinced that AI and Humans should co-exist. (Because they can’t be creative, also they are too predictable)
Ridit- You are the best…, Mom!
Mom- I know (Smiling)
Ridit- I love you!
Maa- I love you too Betu
Ritika- You don’t love me at all, he is your favourite.
Mom- no baby, I love you too and I love you both equally, come here. (Mom and kids hug each other)
Ritika- Mom, what happened, why are you crying?
Mom- Nothing, I just went back to the memory lane when you both were tiny and could fit in my arms. Do take care of your health too and…
Ritika- I know, I know, I will call you every day and write mail once a week. Will visit Bhai every month and on festivals. Anything else, Shall I leave now?
Mom- Yes, pack these snacks as well.
Ritika- Ok, I’ll do that
Ridit and Ritika have moved out to another country for better career opportunities and are flourishing, They are happy and so are their parents. Siblings live in the same city, they pay a visit to each other every month and at festivals. Meet their parents twice a year.
It’s been more than a decade now, Ridit and Ritika have their own families, and the families share a beautiful bond. Having Siblings and family nearby is a blessing. While the Siblings are happy being each other’s support, their parents are now alone.
Dad- How are you Ridhit?
Ridit- I am good Dad, how are you and Mom and GrandMaa?
Dad- We are good too.
Ridit- I have a Surprise for you and Mom. At the door, please open the door.
Dad- Door? Are you here? or Ritika? Surprise Visit?
Ridit- Both 
You just open the door.
Dad- What is this?
Ridit- A robot, preprogrammed with all the necessary information, designed and executed by both of us. It’s name is “Beta”. It knows your likes, dislikes, daily routine, passion, hobby, etc… All you have to do is, assign the work and it will be completed effortlessly. You can go for a morning walk with it, It will help you in the kitchen and gardening, It can drive without getting tired of traffic. It can do all the mundane work which you don’t wish to do. Isn’t it amazing Dad? And It can play Ludo with GrandMaa while you and Mom go for a movie or dineout.
Dad- It’s good, but we don’t need this.
Ridit- If you don’t need it, just put it in sleep mode. It will finish all household chores too, effortlessly and will not be tired.
While the story ends on a good note, let’s give a thought about have an AI as a household help, which will be able to do everything a human can do when assigned. The best part will be, It won’t get bored or tired until the battery is charged, just change the battery and assign the mundane tasks. If I ever get this oppotunity, I would spend my time Reading and writing while the Mundane tasks will be taken care of by the AI.
What would you do if you have such a machine/Robot/ AI?
