Innovative AI Tool for Measuring Roti Roundness Captures Online Attention
Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently being applied in numerous fields. A notable example is the invention by an IIT graduate that provides a unique method to assess the roundness of rotis. His innovation, RotiChecker.ai, has gained significant traction on social media platforms. The concept emerged when a Twitter (now X) user posted an image of her nearly-perfect round roti, referring to it as an art form. Animesh Chouhan, a graduate from IIT Kharagpur, took the initiative to evaluate the roti with his AI-driven tool, which awarded it a “roundness score” of 91 out of 100.
Chouhan then stated that a public launch of the tool would happen if his post received 420 likes. The post far exceeded his expectations, amassing approximately 7,000 likes and over 450,000 views to date. He also shared a humorous meme insinuating that a woman scoring 91 in roundness qualifies her to be a “bahu.”
As a result, Chouhan faced accusations of misogyny. In response, he shared a meme about a damaad and remarked, “Brahminical Patriarchy smashed? It’s just a meme template. Grow up!” He further clarified, “Who said this platform is only for women? If you assumed that, then that’s your own misogyny showing, not mine. There are men participating here too. Cheers!”
Subsequently, Animesh Chouhan announced a different website, RotiMeter.ai, stating it was created for SEO purposes. He expressed gratitude by saying, “Thanks to multiple investors who reached out. Quickest money ever made.”
