Have you seen this orange kung-fu cat chop a piece of toilet paper in half?? Millions of people watched it and assumed it was AI 😹.
It got me thinking though… everybody's worried AI is going to outsmart us (and sure, the robots are getting pretty clever lol). But this week, the humans are getting the last laugh.
So grab a coffee.
We're bragging about epic AI pranks 😼🤖
New here? Did someone forward you this?

This week we're bragging about:

Let's get into today's bragging! — Adam |
Bragging ABOUT:
A YouTuber who faked a self-driving Uber (and racked up 7M+ views)
Have you ever had a driverless taxi?
Waymo is already giving 500,000+ paid rides a week 🚗 as of last spring. Tesla's “Robotaxis” also just landed in San Antonio, and its Austin zone has already grown about 63% bigger.

So when YouTuber Eric Decker hid a stunt driver inside the seat of his Tesla, nobody in the back thought twice. That is… until the car’s navigation suddenly showed a diversion toward Mexico. Then things got even weirder 😳 and the video pulled in over 7 million views!! 🤯👇

To pull it off, Eric’s team hired a voice actor to give the car its deadpan robot voice 🤖. Then they took it on a full tour of chaos. Drive-thru workers handed food to an empty front seat 🍔, security guards confronted it for parking in a handicap spot, and a tow truck couldn’t grab the car because it kept driving away lol.
Eric… way to give Waymo a run for its money 😹👏👏

Bragging ABOUT:
A comedian who trolled ChatGPT so hard that every major AI company wants to work with him📱
Raise your hand if you’ve ever asked AI for help and gotten a super confident answer that was totally wrong 🙋 (me too lol)
Comedian Matt Husk turned that into a full-time job. He used to make TikToks asking people random questions… but at his landscaping job, there weren’t many people around to talk to. So he told ChatGPT a nuclear bomb had just gone off. Its advice? “I’m rooting for you.”
Matt thought it was a pretty bad video. But by the next morning, his ChatGPT prank video already had more than 100,000 views... so he kept going. A few videos later, he asked ChatGPT to time him running a mile👇

Matt jogged for a few seconds, and ChatGPT said it took him “around 10 minutes” lol. When Matt said he swore he was faster, it told him it can feel faster in the moment (yeah, sure 😏). The video blew up so much that OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, was even asked about it on a podcast. He called it a “known issue.”
OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI have all reached out to work with him since his viral videos. Matt says OpenAI offered him “the smallest amount,” so he immediately said no. They even followed up by offering him gifts 🎁, but he turned those down too.
Meanwhile, Matt’s now sitting on roughly 2 MILLION followers across his social platforms… and he’s still posting new ChatGPT fails almost every single day 📱
Matt, you just ran the funniest mile in internet history!! 🥇😹

Bragging ABOUT:
A magician who convinced a guy the AI apocalypse had arrived 🎩
AI’s becoming more advanced by the day.
It can write your emails, plan your vacations, generate realistic images, and hold a conversation that sounds almost human. A Pew Research survey found that 52% of Americans feel more concerned than excited about AI (only 9% said the opposite!).

Magician and comedian Justin Willman (from Netflix’s Magic for Humans) turned that fear into one epic prank. Using a fake robotics lab and a little misdirection, he made an AI skeptic named Kendale believe an all-knowing AI robot could somehow access his most personal secrets.
Crazy enough, the guy ACTUALLY believed him👇
| [WATCH] Would YOU fall for this robot?? → |
Spoiler: the “robot” was Justin the whole time 😹 And all those secrets came from Kendale’s own brother, Kendrick, who hired Justin as payback for something Kendale did when they were kids.
The clip has since racked up over 1.2 MILLION views, and it sums up Justin’s entire philosophy: only prank people who TRULY deserve it.
Justin… now that’s a prank worth bragging about!! 👏👏👏

Now it's your turn to vote!
Who gets this week’s bragging rights? 🗳️
Bragging you can do this weekend:
AI keeps getting smarter every day, but this week proved the humans are still the funniest ones in the room:
Eric turned a Tesla into the world’s most suspicious Uber 🚗
Justin became an all-knowing robot (with a little help from a sneaky brother lol) 🤖
Matt got ChatGPT to clock his few-second jog at 10 minutes ⏱️
So this weekend, have a little fun with it!! Ask your favorite chatbot to time you for 30 seconds, or have it write a super dramatic breaking news report about your cat knocking a cup off the counter 📰 Worst case, you get a good laugh!!
Now it’s your turn, bragger…
What’s the most hilariously WRONG answer AI has ever given you? 🤖
Hit reply and tell me!!
I read every single one 🧡
