As the use of AI in the creative field increases, this kind of advertising is being used in the development of chatbots like ChatGPT. However, a recent event led to a debate on social networks.
One reddit user posted a screenshot of a breakup letter written by ChatGPT, which has to be one of the most unconventional breakup messages out there. The online crowd has termed the letter generated by the AI and as per the user’s instruction for the style of ‘mean’ generated response ‘brutal’ and ‘ruthless’.
Along with referring to the user’s social media profile and profile picture, the letter not only made fun of their looks but also targeted their activities and interests, adding no layer of respect to their transportive bullying.
The post, which has received close to 300 upvotes, has sparked various reactions. Some are provoked to read the bitter remarks of the AI, such as ‘I feel broken; I need therapy for this.’ Others compare their generated breakup messages with the AI with the statement, ‘Unfortunately, mine is a little lighter.’
It has again raised the issue of ethics in AI-based interactions, especially in matters concerning an individual’s well-being. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, there have been many controversies surrounding it, such as the legal issues and risks involved in its application.
