Bengaluru auto driver explains how he uses AI. ChatGPT reacts to viral video
A Bengaluru auto driver explained in a viral Instagram reel how he uses ChatGPT for daily queries in Kannada. The clip drew praise online and prompted a playful Kannada reply from ChatGPT's official account.

A Bengaluru auto driver has surprised the internet with his detailed understanding of ChatGPT, explaining how he uses the AI chatbot for learning, problem-solving and conversations in Kannada.
In the now-viral video, the auto driver tells content creator Gagan Saiprasad that ChatGPT has become a regular part of his routine. Whether he has a question, wants to understand a new topic or needs an explanation in Kannada, he says the chatbot is often his first stop.
Speaking in Kannada, he explains that he usually types his questions in English but asks the chatbot to respond in Kannada, making it easier for him to understand complex topics. He is particularly impressed by ChatGPT's ability to remember previous conversations, saying it can connect a current query with something he had asked months earlier.
The conversation then shifts to the chatbot's voice feature. On learning that ChatGPT can hold real-time spoken conversations, the driver eagerly tries it out. The video shows the AI not only generating written responses in Kannada but also speaking them aloud, leaving him visibly impressed.
The driver also offers a thoughtful critique. He says he has asked ChatGPT several questions related to astrology, including topics such as zodiac signs and sub-lords, but has sometimes found the answers incomplete or inconsistent. In his view, the issue may simply be that the chatbot's knowledge in those specialised areas is not comprehensive enough yet.
Watch the video:
His honest assessment resonated with viewers, many of whom praised his curiosity and willingness to embrace new technology. Several users said the video challenged stereotypes about who uses artificial intelligence and highlighted how accessible such tools have become.
The reel eventually reached OpenAI's official Instagram account, which responded with a light-hearted comment in Kannada thanking the driver for sharing his experience.
What began as a casual conversation inside an auto has since become a viral reminder that artificial intelligence is finding users in the most unexpected places and that curiosity, rather than profession, often shapes how people engage with technology.
