A bizarre new online trend called the "Count to 1 Million Challenge" has gone viral, with users asking AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok to attempt the impossible task of counting to one million. The videos, widely shared on TikTok and other platforms, show the bots refusing to comply, calling the request impractical and meaningless. One viral clip features a man arguing with ChatGPT after it declined, insisting he had time since he was unemployed and had paid for a subscription. The chatbot stood firm despite his pleas, saying it could not fulfil the demand. The man in the video can even be heard asking ChatGPT to "not be difficult", highlighting that "time doesn't exist for the AI". Even as the trend went viral, no one has been able to get the AI tools to count to one million so far.  But why are the AI tools refusing to complete such a menial task? As per reports, the AI model is built to sustain conversations, not perform endless repetitive tasks. Experts note that even if attempted, the process would take nearly six days to complete. This limitation has now become the talking point behind the viral "Count to 1 Million" challenge. ChatGPT Usage Advise: OpenAI Executive Nick Turley Asks People To Use AI Chatbot for ‘2nd Opinion’ and Not As Primary Source of Information.
