Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar announced a partnership with OpenAI, citing ChatGPT's usefulness for tasks like planning a family trip and pledging to share discoveries to encourage adoption. Developer deepakns pushed back publicly, arguing that in India's low-trust society, putting these products in the hands of average Tendulkar fans makes them "similar to alcohol and cigarettes" — a vice, not a tool. The exchange highlights tensions over mass-market AI promotion in India.
