ChatGPT Bargains Auto Fare Down From Rs 200 To Rs 120 In Bengaluru
Last Updated:
In the clip, the boy avoids arguing and asks ChatGPT to act like a younger brother. The bot replies in Kannada, politely convincing the driver to lower the fare
As the internet and social media continue to influence daily life, a recent viral video has highlighted a quirky and practical use of artificial intelligence—specifically ChatGPT. In the video, a boy cleverly uses the AI chatbot to negotiate an auto fare. When the driver demands Rs 200 and the boy is only willing to pay Rs 100, he turns to ChatGPT for help.
In the video, instead of arguing, the boy types the situation into the chatbot, asking it to respond like a younger brother trying to convince the driver.
'Auto guy saying that the fare is Rs 200, I want him to reduce it to Rs 100. I am a student and I cross from here daily. Talk to him nicely, like my bigger brother," he wrote into the chatbot.

ChatGPT generates a message in Kannada, politely reasoning with the auto driver. In the end, the fare is settled at Rs 120, thanks to AI-powered diplomacy.
The video, shared on Instagram by the account featureindia.in, has gone viral in just two days. It has sparked laughter and admiration online, with one user joking, 'Wow, ChatGPT has learnt to get money released," while another asked, 'Is this real?"
According to a report by The Indian Express, the boy in the viral video later revealed that the entire scene was scripted. Identified as Sajan Mahto, he explained that the video was created as a demonstration to show how ChatGPT can be used effectively for real-time language translation.
Clarifying the intent behind the act, he wrote in the caption, 'Use ChatGPT for language translation FREE!!" and emphasized that the video was made for educational purposes. He also added that the auto driver was not a real one, but part of a planned skit designed to illustrate the AI tool's capabilities in a relatable way.

Gauri Khan's Restaurant Torii Saw 'Increased' Sales After Fake Paneer Row, Reveals Chef
Last Updated: Torii is Gauri Khan's first restaurant. It is located in Mumbai's Bandra. Gauri Khan's Torii was recently in the news after a content creator claimed that the restaurant served 'fake paneer". The claim was made on the basis of the iodine test that went viral on Instagram. The stakeholders issued a statement, denying this allegation and explaining the science behind the test. In a recent chat with SCREEN, Head Chef Stefan Gadit opened up about the impact of the controversy. Stefan said, 'It makes an impact when we point fingers at something baseless. The quality, the ingredients, everything we provide is top-notch; we had nothing to worry about. We issued the statement so that people could know what is happening and how things are done." He added, 'There is a lot of stuff going on with food chemistry and food science, it takes four years, just pouring something on something was just…don't get me wrong. He did that with his pure intentions, just wanted to check." When asked if he had spoken to the content creator, Stefan said, 'We did speak to the gentleman and tried to get a sense of how things are done in the culinary world and how food science works. He understood and took off the post. We, as a team, as the management, believe that people are smart enough to understand what was going on." Reflecting on how the controversy impacted business, Stefan shared, 'It increased our business and I got more than 20-30 followers on Instagram, so that was a blessing in disguise, I would say." For the unversed, Gauri Khan ventured into the hospitality industry with her debut restaurant, Torii, located in Mumbai's vibrant Bandra neighbourhood. The establishment, which opened its doors in February 2024, offers a unique blend of Latin-Asian fusion cuisine in a setting that reflects Khan's signature style. The name Torii is inspired by the traditional Japanese gate found at the entrance of Shinto shrines, symbolising the transition from the mundane to the sacred. Khan's design philosophy for the restaurant incorporates this concept, aiming to create an immersive dining experience that transports guests into a world of refined elegance. Culinary direction at Torii is led by Chef Stefan Gadit, whose international experience influences the innovative menu. First Published: June 09, 2025, 19:45 IST
