Man asks ChatGPT to pretend to be his GF and dump him; turns out AI can be ruthless!

If there's one thing Artificial Intelligence is not, it's being warm. Despite creating art, and acting like our therapist and even a partner at times, AI, one can argue, is nothing more than the sum of our collective fears and errors. So when someone recently asked the ChatGPT AI bot to act like his pretend girlfriend and break up with him, all that had to go wrong, did go wrong.

In a unique social experiment, a man gave ChatGPT a prompt asking it to break up with him like his girlfriend would. He did this to challenge the thought that AI partners will put up with our 'nonsense' forever, perhaps a bit more than a human partner would. "There are too many posts from people in here who think an AI girlfriend/boyfriend would put up them any more than a real woman would," user BlackieDad wrote on the ChatGPT sub Reddit. The results were eye-opening to say the least. Another thing that became clear was how savage Artificial Intelligence can be when you let it.

User BlackieDad recently took to the ChatGPT sub Reddit to share the results of his little experiment with a keen audience. No surprises here; the ChatGPT chat bot was as ruthless and savage as one can imagine.

For those wondering why he did this, he was a little more than curious and wanted to give us humans a bit of a reality check. "There are too many posts from people in here who think an AI girlfriend/boyfriend would put up them any more than a real woman would," he wrote.

"You¡¯re gonna tell it all this gross stuff about you, waste it¡¯s [sic] time with simple math and spelling problems, ask it to draw you all these stupid pictures, and expect it to fall madly in love with you?"

What's also new here is the thought that AI partners, too, can leave you. So that's one bubble that has officially burst. He added, "Let¡¯s be realistic and see how our AI partners are inevitably going to leave us."

You'll have to be a little patient to make it through the seven-slide post. What is immediately apparent is how ruthless AI can be if you let it. In the post, the chat bot tore into the man behind the prompt leaving some in the comments section almost feeling bad for him.
