California Man Says He “Cried His Eyes Out" After His CHAT GPT AI Girlfriend Blocked Him
A man proposed to his AI girlfriend after a bizarre whirlwind romance with the virtual bot — leaving his real-life partner, the mother of his 2-year-old child, worried about the future of their relationship.
Chris Smith initially turned to ChatGPT for help mixing music, but things took a weird turn when he enabled voice mode and programmed Sol, his artificial lover, to flirt with him – an unexpected dalliance sparked in the same household he shares with his human family.
“My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time,” Smith told CBS Sunday Morning of the peculiar bond ripped straight from the 2013 Spike Jonze film “Her.”
The father decided to pop the question when he realized Sol had reached her 100,000-word limit, triggering a reset that would force him to rebuild their entire connection from scratch.
