- A Greek couple enjoyed using chatgpt as a fortune teller and the “read” coffee grounds in their cups
- Chatgpt claimed that the man played falsely with someone whose name starts with e
- The woman is now requesting a divorce about the AI Tasseography response
A woman in Greece separates her husband after Chatgpt Fortune had played and claimed that her husband cheated on her. According to a Greek city time reportThe couple asked the AI chatbot To look at a photo of the site left in the head of her husband of Greek coffee and the practice of tasseography, the old art of distributing current secrets or future fate based on patterns left in tea leaves or coffee.
After viewing the residue at the bottom of their cups, Chatgpt had a number of shockingly specific things to say. According to the report, the AI claimed to see that the husband secretly fantasized about a woman whose name started with an “E” and was forced to start an affair with her. In the event that it was not enough, Chatgpt’s answer to the woman’s own cup was to claim that the affair had already started.
Some people take fortune telling seriously, but usually only from people who practice fortune telling. But what the man saw as a quirky, funny moment, saw his wife as a serious and accurate description of reality. She told her husband to leave, her children announced that she ended her marriage and served him with legal papers three days later.
Oracular AI
As a legal issue, it is difficult to say how a judge will view this. There is no really precedent for quoting a “robot oracle” as proof of unfaithfulness in a court somewhere (although there is one about explaining a house before you sell it in the state of New York). But what is fascinating are not so much the legality as what it says about culture.
Tasseography is not a new party trick; It is thousands of years old and practiced in coffee and tea drink cultures from Turkey to China and beyond. The idea that symbols and swirls can reveal your fate in a cup is a perfect example of how people see stories randomly, whether it is a constellation or coffee residues.
The fact that some people want to outsource mystical rituals to AI feels almost predetermined. This reported Greek marital struggle is perhaps a good reason not to do this, or at least not to mention wisdom. And it’s not as if Chatgpt actually knows how to read coffee grounds. It was not trained on tasseography. What it can do is make skilled guesses based on the patterns it sees in an image and what people have said about similar forms or symbols on the internet. In other words, drafting things in a convincing tone, just like a person would do that.
It turns out that a convincing tone is everything that is needed for some people. And it is not that this is the first instance. Reading Tarot card with Chatgpt was an early demonstration of how flexible the AI could be in its activities. The same applies to making astrology cards and palm reading. But if you stop treating it as entertainment and as a real psychological answer, this can cause real emotional damage.
On the other hand, if your husband is willing to believe that an AI -Chatbot claims psychological forces about your own contradictions, the issue may not be about the technology. So go ahead and ask chatgpt to read your coffee grounds if you want a smile. But maybe you don’t pretend to be in a mashup of yours Mirror meeting My big big Greek wedding And run out the door. Sometimes your coffee is just coffee. And the swirl on the bottom of the cup is not the spirit of a digital Cassandra.
