After 12 Years of Marriage, Woman Files For Divorce After ChatGPT Claims Her Husband’s Infidelity Through Coffee Grounds Interpretation
Ever since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT into our lives, it has not only completely revolutionized AI and how the technology is used but has increasingly become more accepted and commonly used in varied companies. It has become such a vital part of user’s lives that its usage extends medically as well, and there have been multiple cases where the AI tool was able to detect illnesses that were otherwise difficult to diagnose. There has been one particularly worrisome case as well where a mother blamed the chatbot for contributing to her teenager’s death. Now another rather peculiar situation has come forward, where a Greek woman who was married for 12 years ended up filing for divorce after ChatGPT interpreted about husband’s infidelity through a coffee cup.
In a bizarre turn of events, a woman ended her 12-year marriage after ChatGPT suggested her husband was being unfaithful
Since the inception of ChatGPT, we have seen the chatbot being used in different institutions, and it has helped streamline many tasks. It has been able to aid medically and academically and profoundly impact users’ lives. While we have seen the technology being put to many uses, an unusual case has come up where the chatbot was used as a fortune-telling tool to detect a husband’s traces of infidelity.
What seems to be a mix of modern tech as well as ancient customs has come across where a Greek woman who followed the tradition of tasseography wherein you read fortunes in coffee grounds, took a picture of the coffee in her husband’s cup for ChatGPT to interpret it via Vice. What she was not expecting was a detailed response from the AI tool pointing to signs of infidelity. ChatGPT even went on to suggest that the woman the husband was thinking about is threatening to break the family and that her name starts with the letter “E.”
While this seems to be a case of digital-age fortune telling, what it led to is quite alarming as the woman then confronted the husband, who denied the accusations. Still, the woman eventually initiated divorce despite their long history together. The husband did not agree to the mutual separation, to which the woman then responded by sending formal papers. The husband’s lawyer is now fighting the case and maintaining that AI-generated coffee interpretations have no legal standing.
Whether the interpretations were accurate or if the woman went overboard with ancient practices remains to be seen. However, it has stirred quite a discussion among the tech community and others on how AI is being used for deeply personal matters and raised questions regarding the blurred boundaries between technology and human experience.
