A Greek woman has reportedly filed for a divorce after discovering from ChatGPT that he was allegedly having an extramarital affair with another woman.
Greek City Times reported that the woman used the AI chatbot in a high-tech twist on tasseography—the centuries-old practice of interpreting coffee or tea grounds to foresee the future.
The mother of two had uploaded photos of herself and her husband’s coffee remnants unto the ChatGPT and allowed it to decode the patterns.
She said the chatbot revealed to her that the spouse was having a romantic relationship with a younger woman thereby posing a threat to their family.
The AI reportedly indicated that the husband’s cup revealed he was “destined to be with a mysterious woman with the initial ‘E’,” while the woman’s cup suggested betrayal and instability within her household.
The husband, appearing on local television, downplayed the AI’s insight, claiming his wife tended to get swept up in viral fads. “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 said.
Within three days, the woman escalated matters by formally serving him with divorce documents, refusing any attempt at amicable separation.
The husband noted that this wasn’t her first encounter with mystical guidance. “A few years ago, she went to an astrologer and it took her nearly a year to finally admit it was all nonsense,” he remarked.
His legal representative dismissed the AI-generated reading as inadmissible in court, stating that a coffee cup interpretation by a chatbot cannot serve as evidence of infidelity.
