A fun new trend is making grandmothers in China very happy! They are bonding with “AI grandsons”—cute, chubby digital babies that can do amazing things like cook meals and lift heavy items in entertaining videos. These AI characters became super popular during the Lunar New Year when younger family members noticed their elders having a great time watching them dressed in bright red outfits.
Even though these AI toddlers aren’t real, many grandmothers think they are real. They watch in amazement as these digital babies perform tasks that a real infant could never do. In some videos, these cute kids lift gold ingots, chop vegetables, and make big meals. One clip shows a baby lifting a roasted pig and bringing it to his grandmother’s house, while another shows a toddler picking eggplants in a field before cooking.
Grandmothers are especially impressed when the AI toddlers use chopsticks to eat noodles. Even if younger people see obvious mistakes—like where the chopsticks are held—grandmothers stay enchanted. One grandma exclaimed, “Wow, he’s so little and already knows how to use chopsticks! What a sweet kid!”
Sometimes, the AI babies play with chickens, making grandmothers worry for their safety. One concerned grandma said, “Be careful, dear! Watch out for the chickens!”
Even when younger family members try to explain that these digital kids are not real, the grandmothers argue back, saying, “Fake? Look how cute they are! You must be the fake one!”
Many people on Chinese social media understand that these videos give elderly people a sense of companionship. One user said, “If they’re not spending money, let them enjoy it how they want!” Another even suggested that these AI grandsons could be used in ads someday, saying, “Imagine a child saying, ‘Grandma, I want to eat this! It’s so yummy!’ They might really trust it and buy it.” Overall, these AI videos help older people feel less lonely
