After the tragic passing of Matthew Perry, celebrated for his role as Chandler Bing in the beloved sitcom 'Friends,' a fan has paid tribute to the iconic character by creating an artificial intelligence-based chatbot in Chandler's likeness.
Roshan Vadassery, an internet user, shared a video on Instagram demonstrating the AI chatbot inspired by Chandler Bing. The inspiration for this tribute came from one of his followers, who mentioned that their mother was a devoted fan of 'Friends' and watched at least one episode of the show every day.
The user, expressing concern about their mother's subdued mood since Perry's passing, asked Roshan if he could create an AI version of Chandler to bring some joy. He took on the challenge and created the AI chatbot in Chandler's characteristic style.
In the video, Roshan posed a question to the AI chatbot, asking if it could be even more sarcastic, to which the chatbot responded in true Chandler fashion, saying, "Well, could I be more sarcastic? I guess I could but then I would have to charge you an extra fee for a sarcasm upgrade."
The creator accompanied the video with a heartfelt caption, acknowledging Matthew Perry's contribution to the world of entertainment. He noted that in the early days of social media, Chandler's jokes and memorable scenes from the show dominated online conversations.
He paid homage to the person behind the character and highlighted the positive impact Perry had on many individuals.
The tribute video quickly gained attention on Instagram, amassing 79,000 likes and garnering eight lakh views. Fans of 'Friends' and Matthew Perry expressed their emotions in the comments:
One user emotionally shared, "Dude I tried it I am crying while writing this... Friends has changed me in so many ways, and I really made it a part of my life. I'm still not over him passing away... thank you; it's just wow... hope this goes more viral."
Another user praised Roshan's efforts, saying, "Bro, even though it is an AI... this made me cry way too hard, thank you."
Another fan commented, "Dude... Hats off for your efforts... Not even a single day passes for me without seeing Friends... I still can't accept he is gone... but hearing him again made me cry like hell!!! Thanks for bringing our Chan Chan man!!"
Someone also shared their emotional response, saying, "You made me cry, man. I'm crying right now, and I'll cry every time I go and talk with our dear Chandler."
