The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The online reaction treats this as either proof that AI can solve anything or a joke about technology being used for a simple search. Both readings go too far. The episode shows a limited, practical use of image-based assistance, not independent tracking or magic. The useful test is straightforward: can the tool identify the correct pair reliably when hundreds of similar clogs are present?
