This is terrifying that people that have no idea that Generative AI chatbots are just fancy probability calculators for the next word in a sentence, but are deciding it is the arbitrator in a relationship.

So like a spouse with a really unhelpful friend who thrives off of drama.
"The responses you've described would likely be considered unfair and emotionally harmful by the majority of marriage therapists," the chatbot responds at a loud volume, while mirroring back the same language used in the prompt with flowery therapy-speak. It offers no pushback, nor does it attempt to reframe the driver's perspective. At one point, the chatbot accuses the wife in the passenger seat of engaging in "avoidance through boundaries" by requesting that they not fight in front of their kids — while those very children sit in the vehicle, just feet away.
It goes on and on, with ChatGPT monologuing while the wife it's being wielded against occasionally tries to cut in over its robotic lecture. The spouse prompting the bot, meanwhile, mutters approving commentary: "that's right," "mm-hmm," "see?"
"Please keep your eyes on the road," the wife being lectured by the AI pleads at one point.
I think I would literally just jump out and walk somewhere.
I can see how this is tempting. Big oof.
