Lucknow Woman Tricks Mother With AI-Created “Boyfriend,” Internet Can’t Stop Laughing
Artificial Intelligence often draws criticism for producing content that feels generic or misleading. However, every now and then, it finds its way into moments of light-hearted fun. One such incident has recently caught the internet’s attention, where a woman from Lucknow used AI to play a harmless yet hilarious prank on her mother — and the result quickly went viral.
In the widely shared Instagram video, content creator Pawani Awasthi is seen showing her mother a photograph that appears to feature Pawani standing closely with an unfamiliar man. The twist? The image wasn’t real at all. It was generated using ChatGPT, with the “boyfriend” existing only through artificial intelligence.
Her mother’s reaction was instant and full of suspicion. Clearly confused, she began questioning who the man was and how her daughter knew him. Pawani casually added fuel to the fire by saying that the man would be visiting their home in the coming days.
“This is your friend? When did you two become friends?” her mother asked, before expressing concern that Pawani’s father would not be pleased upon seeing the photo.
The prank struck a chord with viewers online. As per the latest count, the clip has crossed 3.5 million views, with hundreds of comments pouring in. Many users found the exchange amusing, while others related to the mother’s shock.
One commenter joked, “She survived today, but wouldn’t survive the same prank again.” Another wrote, “I usually hate AI content, but this is honestly one of the best uses of it. The mom’s reaction was priceless.”
This viral moment comes close on the heels of another AI-powered story that touched hearts online. Just last month, a man gained widespread attention after creating an AI-generated video documenting his grandfather’s life as a special gift for his 90th birthday. By using old family photographs, the grandson transformed still memories into a moving visual narrative.
In that emotional video, the elderly grandfather can be seen watching scenes from his childhood come alive — images shifting from static photos to animated moments filled with motion and detail. The experience reportedly left him speechless, while other family members were moved to tears.
Together, these stories show a different side of artificial intelligence — one that goes beyond controversy and criticism. Whether used for playful pranks or deeply personal tributes, AI, when handled responsibly, can create moments that entertain, surprise, and even emotionally connect people in ways once thought impossible.
