From ‘Doctor Ka Dhokha' To SIP: ‘Talking' Newborn Shares Experiences & Expectations
Last Updated: A digital creator known for making funny videos with the help of AI recently took this idea to the next level with a viral clip on Instagram. If newborns could talk, life would be a nonstop mix of honest feedback and unfiltered critiques. Feeding would come with ratings on taste and sleep routines, with nonstop commentary. Visitors and affection wouldn't escape scrutiny either. The upside isthat you would always know exactly why your baby is upset. A digital creator known for making funny videos with the help of AI recently took this idea to the next level with a viral clip on Instagram. The edited AI video shows a newborn baby, seemingly just home from the hospital after his first week. Instead of the usual 'goo goo ga ga," the baby speaks with brutally honest commentary, giving a hilarious twist to everyday experiences. An overlay reads: 'Baby's first week at home." In another moment, asked how he likes his home, the baby says, 'The hospital was better. The AC was on all the time." Asked if he has any problems, he responds, 'My aunt's drunk boyfriend smells really bad. Just make him go away." On the question of love, the baby admitted, 'I fell in love with Dr Priyanka. But she lovingly picked me up and then jabbed me with a needle in my bum." On the question of whether he has ever been betrayed, the baby says, 'Yes, my mom took the money I got as a gift and said, 'Here, I'll keep your money safe.'" Finally, when asked who loves him the most, the baby quips, 'Love? Right now, I just want money." The baby also says, 'Tell dad to start a SIP in mutual funds now, my expenses are hefty." Asked if he likes a name for himself, he replies, 'Yes, Elvish. Kyuki Elvish bhai ke aage koi bol nahi sakta. (Because no one can argue in front of Elvish bhai)." The video has become a hit online. A user commented, 'AI is getting out of control." Another wrote, 'How can I relate to this baby?" 'Elvish bhai part was epic," a comment read. Someone joked, 'Dr Priyanka, so sad." 'So cute," others wrote. 'If middle-class babies could speak," a user said. Another wrote, 'This is unreal. The level of the quality of the video, the detailing, the lip sync; it's crazy what AI is doing."
