Woman files for divorce after ChatGPT ‘exposes' husband's affair through coffee cup
In a digital landscape increasingly shared with artificial intelligence, one woman's reliance on technology for personal matters has opened up essential discussions about trust, interpretation, and the consequences of our digital interactions. Image: Feyza Daştan/Pexels Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seamlessly integrated into our lives, whether it's managing work tasks, controlling smart homes, or offering advice on parenting, fitness, and even mental health. Platforms like ChatGPT have become trusted companions for many, solving everything from quick research queries to complex emotional dilemmas. However, what happens when we place too much trust in AI? One woman in Greece found herself at the centre of a media storm when she used ChatGPT in an unconventional way, asking it to interpret the coffee grounds at the bottom of her husband's cup. Known as tasseography, this ancient fortune-telling practice involves interpreting patterns in coffee grounds, tea leaves, or wine sediments to predict the future. What followed was a dramatic chain of events that led to her filing for divorce, allegedly based on ChatGPT's "reading." Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading When fortune-telling meets AI According to reports in the Greek City Times, the unnamed woman, a mother of two married for 12 years, uploaded a photograph of her husband's coffee cup to ChatGPT, asking it to analyse the patterns. The AI's response was shocking: it suggested that her husband was considering starting an affair with a woman whose name began with the letter "E". It went even further, claiming that the affair had already begun and that the "other woman" had plans to destroy their marriage. For the husband, this was just another episode in his wife's long-standing fascination with the supernatural. For individuals already inclined to believe in fortune-telling or the supernatural, AI might appear as a modern, more credible alternative. Image: Lucas Pezeta/Pexels He claimed on the Greek morning show To Proino that she had previously sought guidance from astrologers, only to later realise their predictions were baseless. But this time, her belief in ChatGPT's "divine" analysis led to irreversible damage. Despite his attempts to laugh off the situation, his wife took the accusations seriously. Within days, she asked him to move out, informed their children of a pending divorce, and even involved a lawyer. The husband, who denies any wrongdoing, is now contesting her claims, arguing that they are based on fictional interpretations by an AI and have no legal merit. This bizarre story strikes at the heart of a growing concern: our increasing reliance on AI and its impact on how we perceive reality. While tools like ChatGPT are designed to generate plausible responses based on the data they've been trained on, they don't possess true insight, intuition, or the ability to divine the future. The AI chatbot, for instance, wasn't created to interpret coffee grounds or predict human behaviour. It's a language model that generates responses based on probabilities, influenced by the prompt it receives. Yet, incidents like this highlight how easily people can misinterpret AI's capabilities, especially when they lack a clear understanding of its limitations. On Reddit, reactions to this story were a mix of humour and concern. Some joked about AI taking over psychic jobs, while others expressed deeper fears about how tools like ChatGPT are blurring the line between reality and fiction. One commenter aptly noted, 'We're going to see a wave of people whose ability to comprehend reality has been utterly annihilated by LLM tools.' As AI continues to evolve, users must understand what these tools can and cannot do. ChatGPT, for example, can provide thoughtful responses, summarise information, and even offer creative input. But it is not omniscient, nor can it accurately predict human behaviour or events. Moreover, this story underscores the psychological vulnerability that some people may have when interacting with AI. For individuals already inclined to believe in fortune-telling or the supernatural, AI might appear as a modern, more credible alternative. This misplaced trust can lead to significant emotional and relational consequences, as seen in this case. As we continue to integrate AI into our daily lives, it's essential to remember that these tools are not infallible. They are here to assist us, not replace critical thinking, human intuition, or professional expertise. And perhaps most importantly, they are not fortune-tellers, no matter how convincing their responses may seem.

Woman 'files for divorce' after ChatGPT 'predicted' her husband was cheating on her by 'reading' coffee grounds in his cup
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT are increasingly becoming a part of everyday life, not just for help at work or school. But one woman reportedly had a bit too much trust in ChatGPT's abilities to divine her husband's activities when he isn't with her. According to a Greek publication, the unnamed mother-of-two, who has been married to her husband for 12 years, asked the chatbot to analyse the remnants of her husband's coffee cup and give her a 'reading'. As odd as it sounds, reading the dregs at the bottom of a cup is a fortune-telling method known as tasseography or tasseomancy. It involves interpreting patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments to discern the future, and is usually done by those who claim to be fortune tellers - not ChatGPT. But this woman's decision to test the divine with the digital led to a spectacular breakdown in her marriage after ChatGPT allegedly suggested her husband was having an affair. Greek City Times reported that she uploaded a photograph of the bottom of her husband's coffee cup, which prompted a rather unexpected response for both parties. The husband, who reportedly appeared on Greek morning show To Proino to talk about his side of the story, said it wasn't the first time his wife let herself be guided by the supernatural. 'A few years ago, she visited an astrologer and it took her a whole year to accept that none of it was real,' he told the morning show. But the reading she received from ChatGPT appeared to influence her entirely. After she uploaded photos of her and her husband's coffee cups into the AI chatbot, she was allegedly told that her partner was thinking about starting an extramarital affair with a woman whose name began with the letter E. ChatGPT allegedly went even further with the reading and apparently interpreted the coffee grounds to suggest that he was already cheating on her and the 'other woman' had plans to tear their marriage apart. Speaking on To Proino, the husband said: 'I laughed it off as nonsense but she took it seriously. 'She asked me to leave, told our kids we were getting divorced, and then I got a call from a lawyer. That's when I realised this wasn't just a phase.' He refused to agree to a mutual separation, according to the publication - but only three days later, he was formally served with divorce papers. He is reportedly pushing back against his wife's divorce attempts, with his lawyer arguing that the claims made by ChatGPT have no legal standing and that he is 'innocent until proven otherwise'. Many people have responded to the bizarre story on Reddit, with some people joking that AI is now stealing a new genre of work. 'They are taking out psychic jobs!' one person wrote, to which another replied with a pun: 'To be fair, they saw this coming.' A third pointed out that, while developments in AI have been impressive, the technology is flawed and can come up with some 'extremely stupid' results at times. 'I was running a bunch of things through ChatGPT to get some quick examples set up for a statistics course and it insisted that the word 'extraterrestrial' has 15 letters, of which four of them were E's,' they gave as an example. 'No matter how I worded the question it insisted both of these things. Now I can't recreate that, which is even more confusing.' On a more serious note, one person pointed out that vulnerable people are finding it harder to tell the difference between reality and fiction thanks to tools like AI chatbots. 'I genuinely feel like we're gonna see a huge wave of people for whom LLM (Large Language Model) tools have just utterly annihilated their ability to comprehend reality,' they wrote. 'I'd say it's a technology that needs safeguards but that ship sailed years ago.' The art of reading coffee grounds and telling fortunes originated from Turkey and can be traced back hundreds of years to the rule of Sultan Suleinan in the 16th century. Depending on how the coffee grounds settle in the cup, fortune tellers divine different fates - perhaps you've been cursed with the evil eye if the grounds form a lump, or all your wishes will come true if your cup becomes stuck to its saucer. Fortune tellers also look for patterns and shapes in the grounds to determine if they might represent animals, icons, letters or numbers, which can mean different things. Reading tea leaves is also a popular alternative. The practice was in high demand in Europe in the 17th century, when the British public was first introduced to tea from China. This involves brewing loose leaf tea and pouring it into a wide, plain, flat-bottomed cup. Once you've finished enjoying the tea, the leaves are left to form shapes at the bottom of the cup, which fortune tellers claim they can decipher to divine your fate.

Woman Ends Her Marriage Because ChatGPT Said Her Husband Was Cheating On Her
Last Updated: A Greek woman's marriage ended after she followed ChatGPT's advice, which suggested her husband was having an affair. Despite his denial, she believed the AI & filed for divorce In a twist of modern-day reliance on technology, a Greek man's marriage has been jeopardised due to advice from an artificial intelligence chatbot. Traditionally, people managed their own tasks, but nowadays, both physical and mental chores are increasingly delegated to machines. Computers are progressively taking over cognitive functions, leading to a rise in demand for chatbots and artificial intelligence, which significantly impacts our lives. A recent incident in Greece highlights this influence, where a woman ended her marriage based on guidance from ChatGPT. According to reports, this woman sought the help of the chatbot for various tasks and ultimately followed its advice to divorce her husband. The startling event was recounted by the husband on the Greek television morning show, To Proino. According to a report by OddityCentral, the man revealed that his wife had participated in a social media trend where ChatGPT interpreted coffee grounds to predict future events. She made coffee for herself and her husband, photographed the coffee grounds, and submitted the images to ChatGPT for analysis. The chatbot suggested that her husband was involved in an affair, prompting the woman to take drastic action. Despite the husband's dismissal of ChatGPT's interpretation as nonsense, his wife believed it wholeheartedly. She asked him to leave, informed their children of the impending divorce, and even involved a lawyer to prepare the necessary documents. The man expressed his disbelief at the situation, noting that his previously happy life was now being dismantled due to an AI's dubious prediction. ChatGPT had claimed that the man was fantasising about a woman whose name began with an 'E" and was destined to start a relationship with her. Additionally, the AI suggested that he was already involved in an affair, which further fuelled his wife's determination to proceed with the divorce. The couple is now entangled in legal proceedings, with the husband's lawyer contesting the divorce because AI-generated claims hold no legal weight. The man emphasised his innocence, asserting that he had never engaged in infidelity. The incident has attracted widespread attention in Greece, with traditional practitioners of tasseography, an ancient practice of fortune-telling by interpreting coffee grounds, explaining that accurate readings involve more than just the grounds. They also consider the foam and the saucer, skills that ChatGPT, despite its capabilities, cannot replicate. This bizarre case underscores the growing influence of artificial intelligence on personal decisions and the importance of critical thinking in distinguishing technology's limitations from human expertise.

AI uncovers cheating husband: Woman files for divorce after ChatGPT's shocking discovery
In one of the most bizarre examples of artificial intelligence crossing paths with personal life, a Greek woman has filed for divorce from her husband of 12 years, all because ChatGPT allegedly detected signs of infidelity through a photo of a coffee cup. What started as a lighthearted experiment in tasseography turned into a full-blown marital breakdown, sparking global debate about the role of AI in everyday decisions. A cup of coffee, a dash of AI, and a divorce The couple's story came to light through an interview the husband gave on the Greek morning show To Proino, where he explained how his wife, a mother of two, persuaded him to drink Greek coffee. Once he was done, she photographed the coffee grounds left behind, not to take them to a traditional fortune teller, but to feed them to ChatGPT in the hopes of getting a futuristic reading. According to the husband, his wife had been increasingly drawn to 'trendy things,' and instead of going to a psychic, she decided to blend ancient mysticism with modern tech. The AI-powered chatbot was then asked to analyze the shapes and patterns formed in the leftover coffee grounds, a process usually associated with tasseography. What followed stunned even the most open-minded tech believers. The chatbot's 'reading' allegedly revealed that the husband was having an affair with a younger woman whose name began with 'E,' and predicted that this mysterious woman would eventually destroy the family. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scarlett Johansson, 40, Shows Off Her Real Size In A New Vacation Photos 33 Bridges Undo A separate analysis of the wife's cup reportedly confirmed the infidelity and warned that the other woman's intentions were to break up the home. What is tasseography? Tasseography is an ancient method of fortune-telling that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. It's often considered a mystical or spiritual practice, typically done by trained fortune tellers. Practitioners believe that the shapes and formations left behind in the cup can reveal deep insights about a person's future, relationships, or emotional state. While popular in parts of the Middle East, Greece, and Turkey, tasseography has never been rooted in science and certainly not in artificial intelligence. The use of ChatGPT to perform tasseography is a first, and raises questions about how seriously people might take AI outputs in emotional or irrational contexts. AI, emotions, and unfiltered outcomes Despite the husband laughing off the chatbot's fortune as 'nonsense,' his wife took the reading to heart. When he refused to agree to a mutual separation, she formally served him with divorce papers and told their children the marriage was over. According to Greek City Times, this wasn't the first time she had shown interest in mystical practices; she had also visited an astrologer years ago and took months to disengage from that influence. The husband's lawyer reportedly tried to argue that AI interpretations are not evidence and should not be used as the basis for legal or emotional decisions. Nonetheless, the woman's resolve didn't waver. While the incident has become viral and sparked plenty of memes online, it highlights a growing phenomenon: people placing serious trust in digital tools, even in situations where emotions, relationships, and real-life consequences hang in the balance.
