'Not in Tihar': Perplexity AI CEO's Reply After Being Mistaken For Delhi CM Kejriwal Goes Viral

New Delhi: Aravind Srinivas, the Indian-origin CEO of Perplexity AI, had a humorous response when an X user mistakenly addressed him as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The mix-up occurred when user Nick Speer urged Srinivas to ensure Perplexity AI’s neutrality, but mistakenly tagged Kejriwal in his post instead of Srinivas.

Speer tweeted, “@ArvindKejriwal, please ensure that Perplexity remains as unbiased as possible and be cautious of biased LLMs.” Srinivas cleverly replied, "I’m not currently in Tihar Jail," playfully correcting the error while addressing the concern.

Srinivas' tweet instantly went viral, racking up over 346,000 views and more than 4,000 likes within hours. “At least both of you are from IIT:)”a User wrote. 

Another said,"One is aam aadmi while the other is a billionaire tech bro. One is fighting for people while the other one is fighting fighting with big G," wrote one user. "LOOOOLLLLLLLLLL Gen-Z Tech CEOs are different!!!!"

Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 and is currently held in Tihar Jail in connection with a money laundering case involving the alleged excise scam. A Delhi court extended the judicial custody of Kejriwal, his former deputy Manish Sisodia, BRS legislator K Kavitha, and other accused in the case.
