In a light-hearted response to a serious geopolitical issue, artificial intelligence (AI) was tasked with creating Indianised names for major Chinese cities after India condemned China's recent naming of locations in Arunachal Pradesh. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs firmly stated that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India, rejecting China's attempts to assign fictitious names to these territories. The AI-generated names included 'Baijnath' for Beijing and 'Nandigram' for Nanjing, reflecting Indian cultural themes. This playful exercise comes amid ongoing tensions between India and China, which have escalated in the past, particularly following the 2020 Galwan clash.
