Dad kept "asking Eugene" — not a chatbot, just his friend named Eugene

A viral anecdote: a netizen assumed his dad was consulting a new chatbot called Eugene because he kept saying things like "I'm asking Eugene about that restaurant" and "let's see where Eugene says to park" — but it turned out Eugene was simply a real-life friend. The mix-up is a funny sign of how deeply AI assistants have seeped into everyday language, even for older generations.
