The first divorce application due to an answer given by Artificial Intelligence, via ChatGPT, is a fact in Greece.
Specifically, a woman decided to file for divorce from her husband of 12 years - with whom she has two children - because she asked ChatGPT... to tell her about coffee and the application decided, like... a fortune teller, that he was cheating on her with a young girl, who, in fact, wants to "close the house on them."
With the AI app's answer in hand, the woman kicked the man out of the house and filed for divorce, with him still trying to understand exactly what had happened!
As he himself stated, in a statement to ANT1… “my wife of 12 years occasionally engages in various fashions that develop around us. In the past few months, as part of a viral trend, she made two Greek coffees and told me that “for a laugh” after drinking them, we should take a picture of the cups and ask chatGPT to tell us the cup. Not wanting to spoil her fun, I agreed to participate in her game.
The result of the analysis of my own coffee was that he sees a young girl with the initial E who I supposedly think about intensely and my desire for a relationship with her will come true. Correspondingly, in her own coffee, the conclusion of the "science" was that I am cheating on her with some young woman who intends to close the house on us. I considered it unnecessary to explain that this is non-existent nonsense and laughed.
She, on the contrary, took the AI's conclusions as given (real facts), especially when she saw her own result. Unfortunately, she asked me to leave our house while informing our children that we were getting a divorce.
I left the house, giving her time to reason, but unfortunately my fears about her mental state were confirmed when I received a phone call from a lawyer who informed me of my wife's desire to dissolve our marriage by mutual consent.
"After my refusal, three days later, I was served with a divorce petition, which contains what I mentioned to you. She had faced a similar problem in the past, as she had visited an astrologer at that time and it took her a year to be convinced that none of what the stars had told her was true."
What does the husband's lawyer say?
The husband's lawyer, Phoebus Stroungaris, spoke to ANT1 about the incident, stating, among other things, that he will propose that he file a lawsuit to have custody of their two minor children revoked. "My client is innocent until proven guilty. The absurdity of artificial intelligence cannot be relied upon in a court of law.
There's something hidden behind this. If we consider that the main character wanted to believe that he was cheating on her but couldn't prove it, suddenly artificial intelligence was there to tell her what to do.
It's also interesting that suddenly AI is found as a given that a colleague of mine deemed necessary to use as evidence.
The man didn't want to get divorced, he thought it was all cute nonsense. From what I hear, I suggest he file a lawsuit to have custody of the two minor children revoked. I can't believe that a person raising children would do something that Artificial Intelligence told him to do."
