IPL 2023: Rajasthan Royals uses ChatGPT to respond to Shashi Tharoor after politician shows gratitude on receiving team’s customised jersey

Rajasthan Royals recently gifted a customised jersey to MP Shashi Tharoor. The jersey read the current Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram’s name. He felt overwhelmed by this surprise and posted it on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter.

Shashi Tharoor wrote, "Many thanks to (IamSanjuSamson) and (rajasthanroyals) for this token of their appreciation for my support! Just backing my star constituent and see what I've got in return...."




Thiruvananthapuram MP is widely recognized for his mastery of the English language. He would use unique words every once in a while, for instance, during a book launch - he popularised “floccinaucinihilipilification” which roughly means useless. Most often in the news for his English, he even performed a comedy sketch for an Amazon Prime Video show.

Now, Rajasthan Royals took this opportunity to reply to Tharoor with the help of OpenAI's chatbot - ChatGPT. In response, Rajasthan Royals attached a screenshot of the response it received from ChatGPT.

The screenshot reads, "Dear esteemed Shashi Tharoor", "It is with an indelible sense of gratitude that I compose this appreciation for your recent tweet exhibiting your unwavering support for the Rajasthan Royals in the cricketing arena." It continues to write, "The profundity of your words of encouragement and endorsement for our team has bestowed upon us a sense of pride and elevated our spirits to continue in the pursuit of excellence on the cricketing field."

And ever since then, the internet is amazed (yet, again) by the skills of OpenAI's chatbot tool. Both these tweets have managed to gain a significant reach on the platform.
