This trend emerged during the Lunar New Year when family members returned home to find their grandmothers joyfully watching a group of chubby toddlers dressed in festive red attire, affectionately dubbed “AI grandsons”.
Although these characters are products of artificial intelligence technology, the grandmothers perceive them as real babies.
In some online videos, the “AI grandsons” are depicted as plump infants confidently walking while holding gold ingots, radiating big smiles.
Footage captures a one-year-old successfully lifting a roasted pig with his bare hands and delivering it barefoot to his grandma’s home.
In another clip, an AI baby in a diaper is seen alone in a field picking eggplants, washing vegetables, and then grabbing a kitchen knife to chop ingredients, preparing dinner that includes three dishes and soup for the entire family.
In some other clips, an AI baby, merely a few months old, expertly wields chopsticks to eat a generous bowl of noodles drizzled with chilli oil.
