An Indian grandpa has found social media fame for using ChatGPT to cook up business ideas and respectfully calling the AI tool “sir” in his messages.
VBR Prasad was on an IndiGo flight when his younger co-passenger noticed his polite chats with ChatGPT. And he calls the AI ‘sir’. “Oh wonderful guidance sir. Thanks a lot and I will come back to you sir. His chats further show that he was using ChatGPT to refine his business idea of vertical farming.
“77 year old grandpa on my flight was cooking up a vertical farming business plan w/ ChatGPT until takeoff. Let me download both the files sir,” the 77-year-old told OpenAI’s chatbot.
The co-passenger, who goes by “teknosaur” on X, posted a picture of the grandfather on the social media platform where it has blown up with 3 million views. The respect!!” the X user wrote while sharing a photograph of VBR Prasad and his chats with the AI chatbot.
