A woman in China has become an online object of fascination after she used artificial intelligence (AI) to finish work while celebrating her birthday with her long-distance boyfriend.
The woman, surnamed Li, who works in Guangzhou in Guangdong province, southeastern China, was enjoying a highly anticipated candlelight dinner with her boyfriend, who had travelled to the city specifically to celebrate her birthday.
“Because we are in a long-distance relationship, I cherish every opportunity I get to spend time with him,” said Li.
However, the date of red wine, fancy food and a movie was interrupted by a flurry of messages from Li’s boss.
