AI at the heart of a marital tragedy in Greece
A surprising case has just rocked Greece, highlighting the potential dangers of over-reliance on artificial intelligence. A Greek woman recently made a radical decision about her marriage based solely on ChatGPT’s “predictions”.
Modern tasseography meets artificial intelligence
Adept at tasséographie, a traditional practice of reading coffee grounds, this woman had the singular idea of modernizing her practice by calling on ChatGPT.
She submitted photos of the coffee grounds in her and her husband’s mugs to the AI, asking for an interpretation of the patterns. The AI’s response set off a family firestorm.
A prediction with devastating consequences
The AI “predicted” an alleged affair between the husband and a person whose first name would begin with the letter E, heralding the destruction of their family.
Without verification or discussion with her husband, the wife immediately took drastic measures, demanding that he leave the marital home and initiating divorce proceedings.
The husband’s reaction and legal implications
The husband, stunned by the situation, revealed to the Greek media that it wasn’t the first time his wife had put too much faith in predictions.
His lawyer has pointed out the absurdity of the situation and intends to challenge the custody rights of the minor children, arguing that such dependence on AI predictions questions one’s capacity for judgment.
The real dangers of AI dependency
This case is part of a wider context of AI-related tragedies.
Tragic cases have already been reported, including that of a Belgian man who took his own life after prolonged exchanges with an AI about the climate crisis, or that of an American teenager who committed suicide after developing an emotional attachment to an AI.

Conclusion
This Greek story underlines the crucial importance of keeping a critical eye on artificial intelligence technologies.
While these tools can be useful, they should never replace human judgment, particularly in decisions as important as those concerning family life. This case should serve as a warning about the dangers of blind trust in AI.
