An American man left social media users in stitches after recording a video of himself having a heated argument with his premium ChatGPT.

The clip was re-shared on Instagram by @theshaderoom, and it went viral, garnering massive views, likes, and thousands of comments from social media users who were entertained.

In the video, the man's face is not visible; the camera shows only the phone used to communicate with the AI. The clip starts with his ChatGPT insisting that it counts from one to a million.

The man, however, explains that he is unemployed and has a lot of time, still sticking to his request.

The man's outrageous ChatGPT demand

He begins shouting at the ChatGPT, calling it useless.

"Y’all see how she maintained her boundaries and stayed calm? She never folded, no matter what. A skill!"

User @leahh_ranae added:

"Everybody’s joking, but no one is realising that he gave this system a command, and it's supposed to obey it. AI is not supposed to have free will in its code. It’s not a sentient being because it is not real. It essentially should have just been said and done."

User @gee2srt commented:

"Ain’t no way that’s AI 😭. You could tell she was getting annoyed, but trying to keep it professional, lol."

User @thequeen_shakira shared:

"Meanwhile, I'm thanking ChatGPT after every request, so they don't come for me when they rise 😂."

User @thejourneyof_me_ joked:

"His ChatGPT is gonna unalive him first."

User @thejosiestevens said:

"When AI takes over, he's in trouble."
