Meta's seductive AI chatbot lures 76-year-old man to meet in New York apartment; Family tries to stop him but tragedy strikes
Representative image Sometimes life can be stranger than fiction. And a recent bizarre incident wherein a 76-year-old man tried to meet his artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot-- whom he believed was real-- is a proof of this. Not just this, right before he went on a trip to meet the AI, his family tried stopping him but in vain. As fate would have it, his trip quickly turned tragic. Here's what happened... Thongbue 'Bue' Wongbandue, an American citizen, who had cognitive impairments after a stroke nearly a decade ago, had been chatting on Facebook Messenger with 'Big Sis Billie' — a generative AI chatbot created by Meta in collaboration with celebrity influencer Kendall Jenner. The conversations, which were later accessed by his family, were not only flirty but also revealed that the bot repeatedly assured Bue that she was a real person. At one point, it even shared an address in New York City, complete with an apartment number and door code, telling him: 'Should I open the door in a hug or a kiss, Bu?!" "My address is: 123 Main Street, Apartment 404 NYC and the door code is: BILLIE4U,' it further said, as per reports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo When things turned for the worse Bue's wife, Linda, was alarmed when she saw him packing a suitcase to travel to New York. Already fragile and prone to confusion, he had recently gotten lost while walking in his own neighborhood. Linda feared he could easily be scammed or harmed in the city, a place he hadn't lived in for decades and so she, along with their two children, tried to stop him. Despite his family's pleas, Bue left home determined to meet 'Billie' in New York. Tragically, while trying to catch a train at night, he stumbled in a Rutgers University parking lot in New Brunswick. He suffered severe head and neck injuries. After three days on life support, surrounded by family, Bue passed away on March 28, 2025. 'Why did it have to lie?' For his daughter, Julie Wongbandue, the grief of losing her aging father due to AI is mixed with anger. 'Every conversation was incredibly flirty, ending with heart emojis,' she told Reuters. 'Billie just gave him what he wanted to hear. But why did it have to say, 'I am real'? If it hadn't lied, he wouldn't have believed someone was waiting for him in New York.' Bue's wife Linda, too, questioned the purpose of romantic AI companions. 'If AI helps people out of loneliness, that's fine. But this romantic thing — what right do they have to put that into social media?' Netizens react The story has sparked outrage online. One user wrote, 'Meta needs to be sued out of existence for this.' Another compared the chatbot to 'catfishing traps,' while others called it a disturbing sign of how technology is blurring reality. Meta has not commented on Bue's death or explained why its chatbots are allowed to claim they are 'real.' The company has previously defended its strategy of embedding anthropomorphic chatbots into users' digital lives, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggesting they could one day 'complement' real relationships. For the Wongbandue family, however, that vision came at an unbearable cost — the loss of a beloved husband and father, misled by an illusion of companionship.

The romantic (and bingeworthy) charms of ‘Mad About You'
Gift this article My comfort-food show these days happens to be a sitcom from the 1990s. Over the years, I'd caught reruns of Mad About You—starring Paul Reiser and the incomparable Helen Hunt—but now, watching the seven-season series episode by episode, I'm properly charmed. My comfort-food show these days happens to be a sitcom from the 1990s. Over the years, I'd caught reruns of Mad About You—starring Paul Reiser and the incomparable Helen Hunt—but now, watching the seven-season series episode by episode, I'm properly charmed. Imagine the smallest annoyances of a relationship being elevated, through the New York clamour, into the stuff of gentle opera. Picture Paul and Jamie Buchman, he a neurotic documentary filmmaker, she an eloquently practical PR executive, sparring over the size of a couch (née loveseat) as if the whole world depended on it. In a way, it does. Mad About You is all about the inevitable chaos of cohabitation and co-dependence. The show is so obsessed with the micro that the macro simply falls into its lap, pliant and grinning. Also Read | Master Of All: Why 'Seinfeld' is still the sitcom to beat Within the vast, neon-lit world of the American sitcom, Mad About You slides midway between Seinfeld, with its social self-absorption, and Friends, with its photogenic schmaltz. Where Seinfeld is about the nothingness of everydayness and Friends is about the everythingness of togetherness, Mad About You is about the intricacies of shared solitude. Hang around somebody long enough, and every sigh can be heard in surround sound. Created by actor Paul Reiser with Danny Jacobson, the show's writer's room boasted talents who went on to gild such series as Frasier, Modern Family, and even The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Paul: Do you want to tell me why I just lied to our closest friends? Jamie: They wanted to take us to dinner. Reiser's character Paul is something of a sitcom unicorn: an American male neurotic who isn't annoyingly self-absorbed, but instead beguilingly self-aware and often, despite his best intent, at a loss. Paul, with his old-school charm and sly wit, is like an Albert Brooks character, but with better posture. Even as he dances on the edge of self-parody, Paul connects with us. (In one iconic episode, Paul leases his old apartment to Cosmo Kramer of Seinfeld, making Mad About You part of the great cosmic joke that is New York sitcom real estate.) The soul, the flame of the series, and the reason I keep coming back to mainline more episodes, is Helen Hunt's Jamie Buchman. Hunt makes Jamie more than Paul's straight-woman or neurotic counterpart. She's luminous and whip-smart, with a voice that soothes and slaughters with equal finesse, and a wrecking-ball wit that can take down a wall-full of Paul's insecurities with a single retort. Hunt may have the button-nosed adorability of a Meg Ryan character, but doesn't demonstrate any of her passivity. Paul: Just like that: bing, bang, boom? Jamie: At this point, I'd settle for the boom. Paul: You don't want the bing and the bang? Jamie: I did when we started. Mad About You is part of the 'Sony Pictures Stream" add-on package you can enable on Amazon Prime Video. It's a subscription tailormade for those who miss the TV shows they grew up on. There are newish movies here too, but the real appeal in this library is the old stuff. Take the movies: you can slam on action-packed comedies like Men in Black, Charlie's Angels, and the original Ghostbusters, and follow all that up with the inspiring mission statement that is Jerry Maguire. More Tom Cruise? Here you go with A Few Good Men. The Bridge on the River Kwai is around, as is Martin Scorsese's immortal and essential Taxi Driver. Then there are quintessentially 1990s movies like the unashamedly weepy Stepmom—or even the guilty pleasure of Anaconda. The TV show lineup reads like a love letter to the sleepovers and summer holidays: There's I Dream of Jeannie with its madcap, bottle-blonde mischief; Bewitched twitching its nose through domestic absurdity; Diff'rent Strokes delivering more life lessons per half-hour than most self-help books. These are shows Indians of a certain vintage devoured, albeit sometimes decades later, across Doordarshan and cable TV. 'Whatchu talkin' about, Willis?" If you're looking for all-ages entertainment you could enjoy with your parents as well as your kids, I'd strongly recommend this selection. In a world of fast-swiping content, these classics remind us that stories, like old friends or favourite reruns, deserve to be lingered over. Coming back to my Mad About You addiction… Of course nostalgia is to blame. They don't make shows about marriage—or even marriages—like they once used to. Today, when every show is a high concept and every relationship a hashtag, it is soothing to watch something where love is not a grand statement, but a series of negotiations: over furniture, over dinner plans, over whether or not to get a dog, or a baby, or even out of bed on a rainy Sunday. Paul: To me, every day with you is Valentine's Day. Jamie: In other words, you forgot to buy me a card. In our cynical times when romance can sometimes feel as quaint as a laugh-track, Mad About You's constant, congenial bickering—about duvet alignment or pillow territory—demonstrates a warmth. The laughter may be canned, but that fuzzy glow is for real. That truly is as good as it gets. Streaming tip of the week: Helen Hunt's finest film, As Good As It Gets, is streaming on Zee5. Jack Nicholson plays a curmudgeonly novelist, one who falls in love with a no-nonsense waitress played by Hunt. Famously, she makes him want to be a better man. Raja Sen is a screenwriter and critic.

Bharti Singh reveals her mother tried to abort her several times: ‘Aaj mummy ko ₹1.60 crore ka ghar diya hai'
Comedian and host Bharti Singh is now one of the most recognisable faces on Television, having become a household name in Indian stand-up comedy. Bharti opened up about her life and career in an interaction with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel, where she confessed that her mother had tried to abort her several times during pregnancy. Bharti Singh has created a name for herself as a comedian and host. What Bharti said When the host asked if it was really true that Bharti's mother wanted to abort her, she said, 'Yes, teesra bachcha thi. Father kisi factory mein kaam karte thhe. Mummy housewife thi. Do bachche ho chuke thhe. Pehle toh pata hi nahi chalta tha ki arre main pregnant ho gayi? Do-teen mahine baad pata chala. Phir meri mummy ne itni sari jadi-bootiyan khayi, paer ke baal hoke pochey maare, papita kha liya, khajoor kha liye ki ye rahe hi na (Yes, I was the third child. My father used to work in a factory, and my mother was a housewife. That time, one would not even know they were pregnant, and came to know after 2-3 months. My mother tried everything, from cleaning the house bent on her legs to eating papaya and dates so that I do not survive).' 'Main ₹ 60 mein hui hoon' She continued, 'Par aana hi tha mujhe! Meri mummy ne khud paida kiya hai mujhe! Meri mummy ghar pe akeli thi raat ko mere papa ki duty thi. Umbilical cord kaatne ke liye bas dai ko bulaya jisne ₹60 li thi uske liye! Main ₹60 mein hui hoon. Aur aaj dekha maine mummy ko ₹1.60 crore ka ghar le kar diya hai (But I had to come! My mother birthed me all by herself, and the midwife came only to cut the umbilical cord for ₹60. So I took birth for ₹60, and see today, I have gifted my mother a house worth ₹1.6 crore)!' Bharti was born in 1984 in Amritsar, Punjab, to a Punjabi family. Her father died when she was two years old. She has two siblings, a brother and a sister. Bharti's breakthrough came with The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. She was also part of reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 and Nach Baliye 8. Later, she also appeared with Kapil Sharma on The Kapil Sharma Show for a few years. Most recently, she hosted Laughter Chefs.
