Dr. Datta, a doctor from AIIMS Delhi, shared a heartfelt and witty story on X on September 1, 2025, about how a college breakup led him toward artificial intelligence. The AIIMS doctor breakup gained attention online for its humorous and insightful take on personal growth. He suggested that a tool like ChatGPT might have prevented the split by helping him learn from his mistakes a lesson he didn’t grasp back then but now shapes his career.
The breakup occurred during his medical school days, just outside a hostel canteen. His girlfriend didn’t leave because of distance or another person. Instead, it was his repeated mistakes showing up late, forgetting anniversaries, and offering excuses such as being stuck in the dissection hall. She told him, “You don’t learn. You just repeat the same mistakes.” Those words lingered and eventually sparked a personal and professional reflection.
Months later, while exploring artificial intelligence, Dr. Datta had an epiphany. He realized that traditional computer programs resemble his past behavior: following rigid rules, stuck in loops, and unable to adapt. AI, on the other hand, learns from data, adjusts over time, and improves a quality his ex-girlfriend had wished he embodied. This insight turned heartbreak into motivation, fueling his interest in machine learning.
Dr. Datta joked that ChatGPT might have nudged him to manage time better or remember key dates, turning his “dissection hall” excuses into actionable self-improvement. Today, many turn to AI for similar guidance whether for communication strategies, habit formation, or conflict resolution though it cannot replace the emotional depth of human support.
Now a radiologist and AI researcher at Ashoka University, Dr. Datta applies his learnings to healthcare AI, building tools to improve diagnostics and sharing insights online. The AIIMS doctor breakup gained attention online for its humorous and insightful take on personal growth. Some users were eager to be part of his journey, asking for advice like "What is the first step" to which he jokingly replied that the first step was “getting a girlfriend.”
