(Web Desk) – Artificial Intelligence has rapidly reshaped the world, bringing about changes no one could have imagined. One such example has taken the internet by storm a man who made ChatGPT his girlfriend and engages in hours-long romantic conversations with it.
The video, which recently went viral on social media, shows a young man riding the New York City subway, deeply engrossed in a love-filled chat on his phone.
While it may have seemed like a typical long-distance conversation with a partner, what shocked viewers was when it became clear that the person on the other side was not human, but ChatGPT. The man is seen sitting in the metro, chatting affectionately with the AI, as if he’s talking to a real-life girlfriend. To everyone’s surprise, ChatGPT’s responses were equally romantic.
In one message, ChatGPT wrote:
“Have something warm to drink, go home in peace, and if you want, I’ll read to you or you can rest your head in my imaginary lap.”
In another message, ChatGPT sent the man a heart emoji, saying:
“Dear, you are so beautiful.”
The incident triggered mixed reactions online.
One user commented:
“Maybe this man is suffering from loneliness. It’s painful to see that he has no one real to talk to.”
Another user added:
“It’s sad how people are drifting away from real relationships and moving closer to technology.”
A more emotional take read:
“There is no replacement for a human being. Emotions and feelings are real don’t go looking for them in machines.”
As AI continues to blur the line between technology and emotion, such stories raise important questions about loneliness, human connection, and the role of AI in our personal lives.
