KARACHI: Even the smartest AI models aren’t immune to a bit of celebrity scrutiny. Pakistan’s leading superstar, Mahira Khan, recently took to social media to share a lighthearted yet eye-opening encounter with the popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The actress turned her Instagram stories into a mini-science lab, documenting a series of “confused” responses from the bot regarding basic chemistry.
The Chemistry Test
Mahira decided to put the AI to the test with some fundamental science queries. She shared that the chatbot initially struggled to provide a correct answer to a simple chemistry question. After a bit of back-and-forth, ChatGPT eventually admitted its mistake and correctly identified Sulfur Dioxide. The saga continued with a question about Carbon Monoxide, where the AI once again had to apologize and rectify its response.
“Don’t Rely Blindly”
Highlighting the “Sorry” and “You’re right again” snippets from the chat, Mahira used the opportunity to send a playful warning to her fans. She advised followers not to rely blindly on AI for everything, noting that it can get stumped by even the most basic questions.

“The nerd/geek in me just couldn’t stop testing it,” Mahira jokingly admitted, explaining why she kept pushing the bot for accuracy.
A Relatable Moment
The interaction has resonated with fans, showcasing Mahira’s witty side and her intellectual curiosity. While she remains one of Pakistan’s most decorated actresses, this “nerdy” exchange proved that she is just as sharp off-screen as she is on it. The takeaway from the The Legend of Maula Jatt star? Double-check your facts—even if the computer seems sure!
