New Delhi, Aug. 8 -- Scrolling through Instagram recently, I was interrupted by a joke of sorts. A girl was sitting in a car with her boyfriend. She turned to him and announced that she was feeling sad.

Her boyfriend, seated next to her, glanced up from his phone and reassured her that everything would be alright. Unsatisfied, she picked up her own phone and told her AI chatbot she was feeling sad.

The chatbot reacted differently from the boyfriend, as you can guess. It said it was so sorry to hear that and began to question her so she could talk it out. At this point, she opens the door of the car and walks off with her phone and her chatbot- leaving a nonplussed boyfriend staring after her.

The reel might have been mildly funny if it...
