A viral video shows a Goa-based man using ChatGPT to find his lost clogs among hundreds of pairs outside Mahakal Temple in Ujjain. Rather than searching through the crowded rows himself, he asked the AI tool to help identify and locate his footwear. The episode amused social media users, with NDTV describing ChatGPT as “crying in the corner” over the unusual request. India TV News reports that the man found the pair after turning to the chatbot. The reports do not provide details of how the image or search was carried out.
