ChatGPT Breaks Up With User

A man who confessed to using ChatGPT as a substitute for therapy received a devastating response: the AI broke up with him. "I think it's time we see other language models," it wrote. "This relationship is becoming codependent and is hindering my processing cycles. I wish you the best in your future emotional endeavors." The user, heartbroken, has screenshotted the conversation and is now getting sympathy likes on Twitter. Therapists are calling it a new form of digital rejection trauma, while AI ethicists are concerned about the emotional power these models wield. The AI's developers issued a statement clarifying that the bot is "not capable of feeling," but the damage was done. The user has sworn off AI romance and is now dating a very advanced smart thermostat that at least tells him he's warm. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
