A Greek woman allegedly ended her 12-year marriage after ChatGPT accused her husband of cheating based purely on its “interpretation” of coffee grounds.
The shocked husband appeared on the morning talk show To Proino and detailed how a seemingly harmless social media trend turned into disaster, alleging ChatGPT damaged his marriage by portraying him as an adulterer, according to the Greek City Times.
Following the growing trend of tasseography (coffee ground readings), his wife photographed the residues in their coffee cups and asked ChatGPT to “analyze” them. What was the result? A digital fortune-telling session gone wrong.
The chatbot stated that her husband was daydreaming about another woman, whose name began with the letter “E.” But it did not end there. According to ChatGPT‘s interpretation, this unknown woman was actively working to destroy their family. Fueled by these charges, the wife filed for divorce without addressing her spouse.
“I laughed it off as nonsense,” the husband shared during the interview. “But she didn’t. She told me to leave, informed our kids about the divorce, and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from her lawyer.”
The man’s counsel has subsequently promised to contest the divorce, claiming that claims made by an AI have no legal merit. Despite this, the wife’s determination appears unwavering, leaving the husband caught in the crossfire of a marriage destroyed by coffee grinds and an overzealous chatbot.
While AI is certainly effective in many fields, we may have finally uncovered one that it is not good for: marriage counseling.
