A techie from Gurgaon shared a hilarious glimpse into how his mother used ChatGPT for an unexpected task, and the internet can’t stop laughing.
The post, shared on X by Akash, carried the caption: “Meanwhile, my mom is using AI for… ” followed by a screenshot that perfectly delivered the punchline.
The image accompanying the post showed a ChatGPT window open on a smartphone screen. Above the text box was a photograph of several bowls filled with ladoos placed on a floral bedsheet. The prompt read: “Can you count the number of ladoos in this photo?”
Below it, the AI response appeared in neat bullet points, showing detailed calculations and finally delivering the answer as 92 ladoos.
The response even added, “If you’d like, I can recount more conservatively and double-verify section by section.”
What made the post go viral was the relatable ingenuity behind it. Instead of manually counting dozens of sweets one by one, the techie’s mother simply uploaded a picture and let AI do the maths.
Take a look at the post here:
The post gained traction, with several users praising the practical and unexpectedly clever use of AI for everyday household tasks. Some joked that while people debated the future of artificial intelligence in coding, finance, and automation, Indian mothers were already putting it to use in the kitchen.
“Haha! My mother uses it for all maid calculations expenses in one voice prompt,” one user wrote, suggesting that AI had become the new household accountant.
Another commented, “This is called efficiency. You should learn from aunty.”
Several users chimed in with similar stories of how their parents used AI to calculate grocery budgets, split electricity bills, plan wedding guest counts, and even double-check school homework.
The post has since sparked a broader conversation about how artificial intelligence is quietly weaving itself into everyday domestic life — far beyond tech offices and startup labs. For many families, it has become less about futuristic innovation and more about convenience.
