Yep, sorry, clickbait. But this exchange, in a recent article on Futurism, reminds us just too much of the 2023 South Park episode “Deep Learning” where Stan begins using an AI chatbot to write text messages to his girlfriend, Wendy, after seeing that Clyde is using one for his girlfriend, Bebe. Predictably, hilarity ensues. Life imitates art:
A husband and wife, together nearly 15 years, had reached a breaking point. And in the middle of their latest fight, they received a heartbreaking text. “Our son heard us arguing,” the husband told Futurism. “He’s 10, and he sent us a message from his phone saying, ‘please don’t get a divorce.'” What his wife did next, the man told us, unsettled him. “She took his message, and asked ChatGPT to respond,” he recounted. “This was her immediate reaction to our 10-year-old being concerned about us in that moment.”
