A wholesome AI story made it to OpenAI's official Instagram: a 77-year-old grandpa on a flight was busy polishing a vertical farming business plan with ChatGPT until takeoff.
The fun detail: he addresses the AI as "sir" — commenters joked the respect level is unmatched, and that "this man is more locked in than all of us." The passenger next to him chatted the whole flight and they became besties.
