Artificial intelligence is making its way into an unexpected area: romantic breakups. More and more people are using ChatGPT to write their breakup texts. Between saving time and emotional comfort, the trend is gaining ground.
Artificial intelligence tools are becoming ubiquitous in everyday life. Whether for work, study, or leisure, millions of users now rely on chatbots to save time or overcome obstacles. This digital assistance now extends beyond the professional sphere to more personal and even intimate aspects. This is what the media Vice highlighted in an article about the use of ChatGPT to write breakup messages. In a reported testimony, a man explained how he entrusted the writing of his breakup texts entirely to AI.
This type of use is based on a simple logic: delegating to artificial intelligence what is deemed too difficult to express. The user indicates the reasons for the breakup, the context, and can specify whether they want a compassionate, neutral, or direct tone. The AI then formulates a complete message, sometimes in several variations, that the user can choose according to their preference. Some see it as a way to avoid silences or awkwardness. Others see it as a way to show a minimum of respect to the person concerned, even if they did not write the message themselves. This allows them to remain "correct" without having to become emotionally involved in the exchange.
ChatGPT is used to write breakup texts on behalf of users
This use is not isolated. For several months, similar cases have shown that artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in romantic relationships. In January, the story of a woman who developed a romantic relationship with a chatbot she had personalized was reported. For her, AI met the emotional and behavioral criteria expected of a partner. Even more recently, another viral trend emerged on social networks: generating, via ChatGPT, the photo of one's soulmate from one's own portrait.
AI is becoming a tool for managing certain sensitive situations. In the case of breakups, the messages produced are often better constructed, more coherent, and perceived as less aggressive than simple silence or an awkward sentence. The user can convey a difficult decision without having to search for words or face a direct reaction. Artificial intelligence does not replace human emotion, but it allows some to express a decision with more clarity and less tension.
