With the rise of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT have become an integral part of our lives, where we’d use it to answer complex questions or even help out in our assignments.
A woman in Greece took the words of the AI chatbot like it was the gospel that she carried out divorce proceedings against her husband of 12 years after ChatGPT reportedly ‘unveiled’ his alleged affair.
Asked ChatGPT to ‘read’ husband’s coffee cup
According to the woman’s husband who appeared on the Greek morning show To Proino to recount the bizarre incident, he said it all began with his wife making Greek coffee for both of them one morning.
After taking photos of their coffee cups, the woman then asked ChatGPT to ‘interpret’ the coffee grounds left inside them — a modern take on the age-old practice of tasseography.
For the uninitiated, tasseography is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments.
However, the woman certainly didn’t expect the answer that ChatGPT gave her after ‘reading’ the coffee grounds.
According to the AI chatbot, her husband’s cup revealed a mysterious woman named “E” whom he was allegedly fantasising about and was destined to embark on a relationship with him.
As for her coffee cup, ChatGPT’s ‘reading’ revealed that her husband was already cheating on her and that the “other woman” was seeking to tear their home apart, reported Greek City Times.
Greek woman files for divorce over ChatGPT’s ‘revelation’
Deeply shocked by the revelation, the woman proceeded to file for divorce from her husband, who initially thought it was nothing but a joke.
I laughed it off as nonsense. But she took it seriously. She asked me to leave, told our kids we were getting divorced, and then I got a call from a lawyer. That’s when I realised this wasn’t just a phase.
“When I refused to agree to a mutual separation, I was formally served with divorce papers three days later,” he said.
The woman’s husband added that this wasn’t the first time she had “fallen under the spell of supernatural guidance”, with one instance seeing her taking an entire year to realise that an astrologer’s predictions weren’t real.
His lawyer also rubbished the cheating allegations, saying claims made by ChatGPT have “no legal standing” and reiterated that his client is “innocent until proven otherwise.”
