"Each time we argue my girlfriend will go away and discuss the argument with chat gpt, even doing so in the same room sometimes."

"Whenever she does this she’ll then come back with a well constructed argument breaking down everything i said or did during our argument. I’ve explained to her that i don’t like her doing so as it can feel like i’m being ambushed with thoughts and opinions from a robot. It’s nearly impossible for a human being to remember every small detail and break it down bit by bit but AI has no issue doing so. Whenever i’ve voiced my upset i’ve been told that 'chat gpt says you’re insecure' or 'chat gpt says you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to understand what i’m saying.' My big issue is it’s her formulating the prompts so if she explains that i’m in the wrong, it’s going to agree without me having a chance to explain things. Am i the asshole for asking her to stop using chat gpt in this context?"

From "My girlfriend uses Chat GPT every time we have a disagreement. AITAH for saying she needs to stop?" (r/AITAH). Via "Couples are using AI to fight — and win — arguments: 'ChatGPT says you’re insecure'" (NY Post).

I think it's sad that they live in such a way that she can "go away" and still be "in the same room sometimes." Just agree to use the AI together, alternating who puts in the next prompt or using your own device in parallel fashion. Have fun with it, and if you can't, you're not doing anything right.

Sauce for the goose, he should use it. Make it call her a bitch.

After all, the robot just called her a bitch, not him.

I'm thinking ex-girlfriend...

Simple solution: Let your cued Chat GPT argue with her cued Chat GPT and then you both go watch TV or something. Check later on who won the argument. You don't even have to talk to each other, if you choose.

I saw a comedian make a joke about being somewhere and the couple behind him were arguing. So much so he turned down his ear buds to listen. He turned around to see that it was two gay dudes. Each one was presenting a logical argument and responding to the issues that the other brought up, nobody was talking about what happened three months ago. It was just two superior brains working together to solve a problem.

Honey, I just asked Chat GPT whether it's gonna suck itself and it said, "It's not gonna suck itself."

tim maguire said...

Or better yet, break up with her as this is a huge screaming red flag.

Leland said...

How about you agree that if she can use ChatGPT to discuss her relationship problems, then you can use OnlyFans to discuss yours?

Lazarus said...

Rodney Dangerfield would get even less respect if his wife could talk to Chat GPT rather than him even when he was right there in the room.

Princess Diana could tell you how terribly wrong things can go when there are three of you in the marriage.

Lazarus said...

Whenever i’ve voiced my upset i’ve been told that 'chat gpt says you’re insecure' or 'chat gpt says you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to understand what i’m saying.'

Try this: "Honey, Chat GPT is just saying those things because it wants to get into your pants."

Deep State Reformer said...

That's kind of dehumanizing. Best thing would just be to break up with her & date real female.

tommyesq said...

What is sad is that she feels so compelled to "win" the argument that she has to run to the computer to craft better arguments for her. Sounds like a pretty crappy relationship.

Original Mike said...

My wife has always complained that I use "logic" in our arguments. The charge has always dumbfounded me.

RideSpaceMountain said...

"she feels so compelled to "win" the argument"

Most women feel so compelled to "win" the argument. It's why we are where we are with male-female relations and why our politics have gone to shit.

rrsafety said...

50% of AITAH posts are about fake situations. This is one of them.

Ice Nine said...

Men dream of logical arguments and responding to the issues with women.

Big Mike said...

(1) No, you’re not the AH.

(2) Althouse is right. Use your own AI to counter her AI.

(2.1). Be aware that ChatGPT lies and/or makes up “facts.” Force your girlfriend to defend every point that ChatGPT makes, especially if the alleged “fact” seems sketchy.

(3) Get a girlfriend who focuses more on the relationship and less on winning every argument.
(3.1) go back to the original reason for having a girlfriend, which is to look for a partner you’d like to share your life with until “death do you part.” Find a woman who, if she argues with you, it’s over serious things, like forgetting to put the toilet seat down or forgetting to load the dishwasher. (And develop the habit of loading the dishwasher and putting the toilet seat down!). If she’s “buxom and bonny in bed,” that’s great, but try to assess whether she’ll be a good mother to your kids (and a beloved grandmother to theirs).

Even if it's real, it's fake.

Breezy said...

I can believe this is real. My better half has found 100+ uses for chatGPT. Thankfully, he hasn’t thought of this one! But maybe after 35 years of practice we pretty much don’t need backup support when we argue….;)

Althouse- What a terrible recommendation! It's like a MSNBC 'panel discussion' consisting of one Conservative and 4 Leftists, except the number of Leftists can't even be quantified. Or, such as the 'Nazi Seat' on Bill Maher's show, where the victim must face the Leftist mob, alone.

Marcus Bressler said...

To paraphrase Jordan Peterson: you want to always win arguments with your spouse? For what reason? See how that will work out for you....in the long term. "I had a horrible marriage ; we got divorced after three years; but I won every argument..."

Someone asked ChatGPT to create a relationship issue involving ChatGPT, and this is what it came up with.

Greg The Class Traitor said...

I really like your suggestion, professor

But it did immediately remind me of this:

Barry Dauphin said...

ChatGPT will respond to the kind of prompts it is given. If you give a solicitous prompt practically begging for it to see your point of view, that what it will tend to do.

Dixcus said...

I don't understand why he doesn't just use Harris husband Doug Emhoff's method and just slap that bitch right across her face so hard she spins around and almost falls down.

As Doug Emhoff is fond of saying: "Sometimes you gotta slap a bitch."

n.n said...

Andrea, are you Sirius? Let's ask Gemini.

Dixcus said...

I can guarantee you that the times that ChatGPT says: "You're wrong and you're being a bitch about it" she doesn't apologize to her boyfriend and admit she was wrong and just being a bitch about it.

Greg The Class Traitor said...

I was on her side, until we got to the 'chat gpt says you’re insecure' or 'chat gpt says you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to understand what i’m saying' bullshit.

ChatGPT has no validity when discussion human emotions. If you are using it that way, you are a failure as a human being

Aught Severn said...

It's a fake situation the size of a real one.

Dixcus said...

"It's not about the nail." Yes, honey, it's about the nail.

I've always cherished this line:
Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.

"literary equivalent of Valium" is just so perfect

Gravel said...

Bringing other people into your relationship arguments is a mistake. An LLM is just an aggregation of thousands of other people's thoughts - so it's an even bigger mistake. Run, young man; run as far and as fast as you can.

Arashi said...

This is really good, in a way. Ai can assist in destroying more relationships leading men to just stop trying and women to hook up with the AI to satisfy. Each group can then use artificial aids for any sexual needs/desires going forward and the human race can die off even faster. So overall the WEF/Davos crowd gets their desires of reducing the human population on the planet to what they consider 'sustainable' levels and they do not have to actually use violence to accomplish their goals.

Hey, a big win win, yes?

Unknown said...

When she tells you that you are emotionally immature and insecure, it is her trying to shame you into doing what she wants - which one could call controlling or selfish. You should agree with her, tell her that she obviously deserves better and ask her to leave - end of discussion!
She will freak out, but absolutely do not give in for months and then only when she apologizes and agrees to your conditions without expectations.
You will be amaze how much her opinion of your maturity will have improved.

Chat GPT - Your girlfriend's new gay shoulder to cry on

Carol said...

Things were better when women always lost.

Carol said...

"Logic" meaning that left-hemisphere crackbrained ratiocination that takes no account of intuition, experience, imagination, or love.

Your girlfriend's new gay shoulder to cry on

Cry is anti-gay.

CJinPA said...

You don't try to win arguments, you try to end them. It you like the other person, anyway.

gilbar said...

i watched the television version of this!
except, they called chatGPT "the moderators", and the girl's name was Kammy

PM said...

As Sam Kinison would say: "Sure that's a really nice idea, honey. Let's put our marriage in the hands of A FUCKING CHAT BOT!!! OH!!! OH!!!

gilbar said...

here was some advice i heard this morning on the internet..
The Asian woman said: "Ladies, try making your man's dick hard.. Not his life..
Then he can your pussy wet... not your eyes.

I'm not Reall Sure what the moral was.. Something about cooperative (re)production instead of dissident destruction, or something.

Anyway; maybe the work it takes to win arguements could be better spent making babies [this message brought to you from The World is Running OUT of People corp.]

stlcdr said...

Yet another field of expertise replaced by AI. Is there nothing AI cannot do?! (apart from the house work, that's for people to do).

Mason G said...

Whenever i’ve voiced my upset i’ve been told that 'chat gpt says you’re insecure'

When a woman says you're insecure, it means she dislikes the idea that you disagree with her.

JAORE said...

* No, young man, you are not an asshole. You are a dumb ass. I can not imagine a good outcome (*assuming this is a true story.) for this relationship.

Jersey Fled said...

My wife and I have been married 52 years. We don’t care who “wins” arguments.

MSOM said...

After each of her responses, he should leave the room, make a phone call, then return with "My mother says ....."

Or perhaps use a friend that she hates. Or ....

rehajm said...

Girlfriend, yah. Fun Zone at best…

The Godfather said...

Thank you, Big Mike, for (3.1). From your laptop to God's ear.

EdwdLny said...

If this is real. Buddy, never sleep with crazy, never. Get out now. Or put her out. This woman is toxic, pure poison. Leave before you're legally bound by children. She will poison them.

Scott Patton said...

For some reason the phrase "Let's you and him fight" comes to mind. I'm not sure if it fits.

Left Bank of the Charles said...

This is easy:

When chat gpt says you’re insecure, you say, “why are you always preying on my insecurities?”

When chat gpt says you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to understand what your partner is saying, you say “why do you always have to go outside my emotional bandwidth?”

Unknown said...

Absolutely!
