Husband Divorced Over Neural Network Forecast in Greece
In a bizarre turn of events, a woman filed for divorce after an interaction with an artificial intelligence (AI) alleged her husband's infidelity. As shared in "Komsomolskaya Pravda," and further cited in "To Vima," the woman playfully queried ChatGPT about the grounds for her marital dispute. Supposedly, the AI spotted an image of a woman with the initial "E" and declared her husband harbored feelings for her, with plans for a budding relationship.
The husband was left dumbfounded as his partner kicked him out and initiated divorce proceedings. What was initially meant as a fun exchange with the AI escalated into a heated argument, leaving the husband hoping for reconciliation. To his dismay, his wife was unwavering in her decision to part ways.
The husband admitted that they had been engaging in harmless banter with the AI before the disagreement, seeking a joke prediction. But the unwitting lecture by the AI about her husband's supposed unfaithfulness proved to be the breaking point for the woman.
This incident isn't the first instance of the wife falling prey to irrational beliefs. Previously, she had followed astrologers' predictions for an entire year before being disillusioned. In a broader context, while there are instances of technology and AI being misused in personal and legal contexts, there is no documented evidence of AI-generated false accusations causing divorces. Misunderstandings and the misuse of technology (like deepfakes), however, are becoming increasingly prevalent concerns in personal relationships.
The woman grounds her divorce accusations on the infidelity ChatGPT supposedly detected in her husband, as seen in articles from "Komsomolskaya Pravda" and "To Vima". The husband's hopes for reconciliation are left unrequited as his wife remains firm in her decision to part ways. This incident has led the husband to reflect upon their previous harmless banter with the AI, with the AI-generated infidelity allegations proving to be the breaking point for their relationship. Despite the increasing concerns about misuse of technology in personal relationships, there is no known documented evidence linking AI-generated false accusations to divorces.
