Artificial intelligence is undeniably transforming the world, with more and more people turning to chatbots like ChatGPT to craft a wide array of content, from professional resumes to creative pieces. Social media is flooded with posts showcasing the results people achieve after using an AI chatbot. Among these is a particular share about a breakup letter that has been labeled “brutal” and “ruthless.”
One Reddit user shared their thoughts on the matter, saying, “There are too many posts from people in here who think an AI girlfriend/boyfriend would put up with them any more than a real woman would. You’re gonna tell it all this gross stuff about you, waste its time with simple maths and spelling problems, ask it to draw you all these stupid pictures, and expect it to fall madly in love with you? Let’s be realistic and see how our AI partners are inevitably going to leave us.”
The user also posted a picture showing ChatGPT’s response after being prompted to write a mean breakup letter. The AI chatbot delivered a message that was nothing short of savage. The letter drew on the user’s social media history and the picture they provided, mocking not only their appearance but also their habits and hobbies.
With nearly 300 upvotes, the post has generated a wide range of reactions. Some people expressed how the letter left them feeling “broken” and “in need of therapy.”
Another Reddit user commented on the impact of the letter, saying, “I would need therapy after this. Good job, ChatGPT.” Someone else shared their experience, adding, “Mine said it was only comfortable doing a ‘lighthearted’ version, and told me it knew it would always be in second place after my dogs and that I owned too many cactuses.”
A third person remarked, “Oh man, it’s like having an AI that’s in the painful stages of having to hold it all in by design and it was just told to unleash hell.” Another supportive comment read, “If you need a friend to talk to after that, we’re all here for you. That was brutal, but we’ll get through it together.”
