Character uses AI for absurd tasks from @renshawjay

The creator plays a quirky character named Chit who interacts with his new AI assistant, Microsoft Copilot, throughout his day. Starting from his bed, he asks the AI a series of increasingly absurd questions, from brainstorming a ridiculous app to maintain his bangs, to getting fashion advice (and forgetting his pants), to checking his years-overdue work schedule. The skit culminates with him asking for relationship advice about having a sleepover with a golden pineapple, showcasing the AI's capabilities through a humorous, character-driven narrative.
