In a bizarre turn of events, a woman has reportedly divorced her husband of 12 years after trusting ChatGPT’s interpretation of his coffee grounds. The AI chatbot, known for its ability to generate text and images, was used for a less conventional purpose: tasseography, the art of divination using tea leaves or coffee grounds.
According to reports, the woman, from Greece, uploaded a photo of her husband’s coffee grounds to ChatGPT and asked for an interpretation. The AI claimed the grounds indicated the husband was fantasizing about an affair with a younger woman whose name started with the letter “E” and was destined to begin a relationship with her. A subsequent reading of the woman’s own coffee grounds allegedly suggested the affair was already underway, and the other woman was trying to destroy the family.
Without confronting her husband, the woman filed for divorce. The husband, speaking on a Greek morning show, expressed his disbelief. He stated his wife often follows trends and saw the coffee ground reading as a fun experiment. He dismissed the AI’s claims as nonsense, but his wife took them seriously, leading to a swift and unexpected divorce.
The husband’s lawyer is contesting the divorce, arguing that AI-generated claims have no legal validity, especially when based on the interpretation of coffee grounds. He mentioned his wife had believed an astrologer in the past, and it took a year for her to accept that the astrology wasn’t real.
This unusual case highlights the growing influence and potential misuse of AI in personal matters. Some experts have pointed out that traditional tasseography considers factors beyond just the leftover grounds, such as the foam patterns and swirl in the cup.
This incident serves as a cautionary tale about placing blind faith in AI and its interpretations, especially when it comes to sensitive issues like relationships and trust.
