- A woman divorced her husband because of ChatGPT
- She asked the assistant bot to ‘read’ her husband’s coffee cup
- The chatbot suggested her husband was having an affair, leading to her filing for divorce
You’ve heard of a woman falling in love with ChatGPT. But have you heard of a woman divorcing her husband because of it? Well, that is exactly what one Greek woman did thanks to the AI chatbot.
Her baffled husband went on the Greek morning show, To Proino, to claim that his wife asked him for a divorce because of the AI software. The couple had been married for 12 years before she hit him with the papers.

Why did ChatGPT make the woman divorce her husband?
But what led to this? One day, the distrusting wife asked the software to read her husband’s coffee cup or his coffee grounds. After the software did, it told her that her husband was having an affair with a younger woman who wanted to destroy their family.
Unfortunately for the husband, the mom-of-two took the reading literally and served her husband with papers, according to The Greek Times.
As a result, the heartbroken husband turned to the morning show.
“She’s often into trendy things,” he began.
“One day, she made us Greek coffee and thought it would be fun to take pictures of the cups and have ChatGPT ‘read’ them.”
Bafflingly, the reading wasn’t the harmless fun the couple expected. After reading the husband’s cup, the AI software said there was a woman whose name began with E that the husband was lusting after. Like something out of a telenovela, the wife’s cup was also strange, claiming her husband was already cheating.
What happened next?
The dumbfounded husband told the chat show host that he “laughed it off”, believing it to be nonsense. However, his wife did not take it lightly.
“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 realized this wasn’t just a phase,” the man recalled.
His wife only served him papers because he refused to agree to a mutual separation. Yikes.
“A few years ago, she visited an astrologer, and it took a whole year for her to accept that none of it was real,” he said of his wife.
His lawyer stated that the chatbot’s claims have no legal standing, and he is “innocent until proven otherwise”.
Coffee reading is a thing, though. However, in that practice, tasseography, as it is called, uses not just the coffee but the foam and the coffee saucer.
Whatever that means…
