ChatGPT is DESTROYING Relationships!
41This was one of the most harrowing articles that I read last week. ChatGPT is actually destroying relationships.
So, what happened? Well, what happened is plenty of people are using ChatGPT as a substitute for human interaction, problem solving, and mental health assistance, which leads to couples who already have their relationships in the brink of collapse spectacularly crash even more.
The article opens with a wife asking ChatGPT to respond to her son who told them not to get divorced. A lesbian couple asked ChatGPT to browbeat her partner, now ex-partner, all in front of their children. One husband read the messages that his wife said to ChatGPT, and he genuinely questioned whether his wife had joined a cult.
Even the so-called Godfather of AI conceded that his girlfriend broke up with him using ChatGPT. That is crazy. That is Mark Zuckerberg constantly refreshing his ex-girlfriend's Facebook page after he sent a friend request vibe.
Some chats even go as far as physical abuse, like a woman who attacked her husband after he questioned her problematic ChatGPT usage and the damage that it caused to the family. Wow. Way to prove his point, right? There's also another case where a bipolar wife started using ChatGPT, and it spiraled out of control.
From what I read, most of the relationships seem to be on edge even before the intervention of AI. Even the ones that were stable, they have underlying mental issues. So, these couples were already troubled to begin with, and AI just merely sealed their fate, the cherry on top, but cherry is a positive metaphor. So, I say it's more like the nail to their coffins.
I also noticed that none of the AI users were using AI to try to fix or bridge relationships. At best, they're used as cheap and quick shortcuts to fix problems that require a more human touch. At worst, a yes-man that validates and confirms all the horrible thoughts one has that antagonizes the partner and makes the relationship worse.
In the right hands, AI is a powerful tool that can genuinely help people like you to learn and evolve in ways that you're not going to be able to do traditionally. In the wrong hands, it will disconnect you from reality and give you psychosis, enough to ruin relationships and cause damage to not only yourself, but also the people around you.
