Practical exercise

Test AI on your mother tongue

AI was trained mostly on English, then on Urdu, and barely on Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto, Balochi, or Saraiki. Today you will measure that gap with your own ears, in the voice of your own family. Then you will know exactly when to trust AI in your language and when to do the work yourself.
