The clip began with Laura riding an electric scooter, followed by Ma Caroline Ingalls doing laundry and Pa Charles Ingalls moving the lawn. Next, Mary Ingalls walked outside with a guide dog, and two young boys watched TV. Nellie Oleson worked at McDonald's as her mother, Harriet Oleson, worked as a cashier at Walmart.
Other characters—while still dressed like they were in the 1800s—drove a car, played with a drone, worked at a computer at an office job and cut down a tree with a chainsaw.
"The true definition of 'Modern Prairie,'" Gilbert quipped in the caption.

Another echoed, "This is the only acceptable use of AI. ❤️," as someone else agreed, writing, "Oh, I absolutely LOVE this! If this is what AI was invented for, I am all for it!"
Yet another Instagram user pointed out, "The only ones dressed modern are harriet and nellie. they should have put you all in modern clothes! i don't like ai but have to admit this was kind of funny.?."
