Have you ever argued with your special someone, but you can’t construct the thoughts from your head to the words that come out of your mouth? There’s a polarizing solution – use ChatGPT.
Apparently, you can’t just use the popular Generative AI (GenAI) app to construct emails, essays, computer programs, and wedding vows. You can also use it to win arguments against your partner.
In a Reddit thread titled “My girlfriend uses Chat GPT every time we have a disagreement. AITAH (Am I The A—hole for saying she needs to stop?”, Redditor drawss4scoress (25 years old) shares how his girlfriend (28 years old) of eight months has tapped into the services of ChatGPT and outsourced the thinking and responding to the AI chatbot.
He said that during fights, his girlfriend would go away and discuss the argument with ChatGPT (sometimes even when they’re in the same room). Afterward, she would return with a well-constructed argument, breaking down what he had said during the argument.
He then tried explaining that he doesn’t like being ambushed by a robot’s thoughts and opinions (if they can even make their own), adding that humans can’t remember every single detail and break them down, which an AI tool has no issue with.

The funny thing is that when he tries to voice his dismay, his girlfriend comes back with more ChatGPT responses, like him being insecure or not having the emotional bandwidth to understand.
His girlfriend also appears to have her way with prompt engineering, as she can formulate prompts that allow her to always explain why he is wrong.
Some Redditors replied with some valid, logical, and funny comebacks:
Tangential-Thoughts said he should also reply using ChatGPT until she gets the point, while annebonnell responded that he should just break up with her. More replies argued that, at this point, he is dating a bot and not a human.
On the other hand, Professional-Ear5923 made a more logical argument, stating, “Show her how biased it is to the user’s input, it’s literally programmed to tell you exactly what you want to hear. Discuss her actions with ChatGPT from your perspective and it’ll do the exact same thing to her. Show her how it’s biased and only serves as an artificial form of self-validation.”
It’s real life, but it feels like it’s straight out of South Park because, as mentioned by Zestyclose-Cloud-508, there’s an actual episode using ChatGPT for romance. You can see it on YouTube by searching “ChatGPT Romance.”
In this time and age, when AI and ChatGPT have started creeping into our jobs and daily lives, will we also use them in our relationships?
