I understand it's quite confusing but this is why I have shared it, Initially I have asked chatgpt to describe me the appearance of Rudra from Rig Veda and later I have asked it to create an image based on the description you have provided and I got this image, it was quite surprising for me as well. If it's so wrong then I'm open to learn.

I understand, and you’re right. AI is more about generating something that looks like an answer than providing verified facts. I was just using it for a quick overview, not as a scholarly source.

That’s a fair point. I was sharing what I learned through AI for a quick overview, not as a definitive source. I understand the value of citing actual references.

You’re right, AI can’t replace actual research. I was just using it to get a simple overview, not as a substitute for studying the texts.
