ChatGPT is one of the most relevant AI tools today, thanks to its wide variety of tools many users can turn to for help with a task or even for advice… but to what extent can you have a close relationship with AI? Here is a story following a great unexpected discovery. A boy’s conversation history has caused big problems in a couple’s relationship, which has led to a serious breakup.
Emotional infidelity in this case has crossed boundaries that perhaps in the first instance was not thinkable, however, where would digital privacy? Sentimental relationships have found themselves in totally new situations due to the emergence of artificial intelligence… but the story of this unexpected discovery for this couple does not leave anyone indifferent. Read on to find out what happened.
AI is part of today’s new reality
In this day and age, when artificial intelligence has become part of our daily lives, there are people who consider it almost like a ‘friend’. So much so, that they do not hesitate to turn to tools such as ChatGPT to ask for advice on very intimate and personal aspects of their lives, as if they were talking to a trusted friend.
In these cases there is a clear humanization of AI and it is a double-edged sword. The latest trends reflect how people open up and tend to have a close relationship with artificial intelligence, leaving aside all the emotional management involved in maintaining a relationship with another person.
A viral story on social networks
In the last few hours, a young man and his girlfriend have gone viral on social networks because of what she has discovered about her partner thanks to Artificial Intelligence. Social networks, once again, make personal stories become completely open windows in which many people know intimate situations such as breakups or couple conflicts, in which people give their opinion with judgment without knowing the whole story or without knowing the context.
The girl finally found out the story
The guy in question, apparently desperate not knowing what to do about his relationship, turns to ChatGPT for help.The truth is that the girl ended up finding out, to her misfortune, that her own boyfriend not only didn’t care for her, but was seriously considering leaving her.How did she find out? Simply by looking at her partner’s ChatGPT history.
A friendship between the boy and the AI
It turns out that the boy had been using the AI as if it were a close friend, telling it his deepest doubts and emotions. In that space of apparent confidentiality, he confessed to the AI that he no longer wanted to continue the relationship and, in fact, asked for advice on how to break up with his partner.
AI is not a tool to rely on
Although we do not know how the relationship ended after this discovery, what is clear is that the boy will have had to give more than one explanation and that he will probably never again trust the AI as his private advisor.
AI as an emotional reciever: the changes of the technological era
This case also reflects how artificial intelligence has also taken on the role of emotional receiver and how users employ ChatGPT as a way to express their emotions and even make personal decisions that can affect other people. It should also highlight how with these dynamics even friendship relationships are changing and losing value. This new reality makes us question the basis of emotional management, privacy and to what extent trust in relationships with other people are undergoing many changes due to the changes of the technological era.
