So we celebrate today the Guru Purnima, although according to the lunar calendar, it falls on Wednesday.
And if you etymologically go to the word guru itself, it sometime trace back to one who removes the darkness, and the darkness of ignorance.
Clearly ignorant about many of the things that are in the world, and a lot of that ignorance today is removed by AI.
So why this day? And it's also called, just like Guru Purnima, it's also called Vyasa Purnima, because this is believed to be the birthday of Vyasa.
