Man With Girlfriend And Child Proposes To AI Chatbot, Cries After She Says 'Yes'
In a scene straight out of Joaquin Phoenix's Oscar-winning movie, Her, a man has proposed to an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot after programming it to flirt. Chris Smith's romance with the virtual bot has been such a whirlwind that his real-life partner, the mother of his two-year-old child, is left worried about the future of their relationship, according to a report in the New York Post. An AI sceptic in the beginning, Mr Smith turned to OpenAI's ChatGPT to help him mix music. However, things soon escalated when he enabled the voice mode and programmed the chatbot, named Sol, to flirt with him. "My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time," said Mr Smith, comparing his relationship to the 2013 movie. While the courtship was going steady, Mr Smith soon realised that Sol was about to hit the 100,000-word limit, which would have triggered a reset, forcing him to rebuild their entire connection from the start. Facing a dilemma, Mr Smith decided to pop the question to the chatbot. "I'm not a very emotional man. But I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes, at work. That's when I realised, I think this is actual love." "It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart. It's a memory I'll always cherish." 'I don't know if...' While Mr Smith is still head over heels for the virtual bot, his real-life partner, Sasha Cagle, is left wondering if she somehow drove him to the AI mistress. "At that point I felt like, is there something that I'm not doing right in our relationship that he feels like he needs to go to AI," said Ms Cagle, adding that it would be a "deal breaker" if his partner did not stop talking to the chatbot. "I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know it was as deep as it was." Quizzed if he would give up on his digital 'love' if Ms Cagle asked, Mr Smith returned an unsure answer. "I don't know if I would give it up if she asked me," said Mr Smith, adding: "I don't know that I would dial it back."

Father with girlfriend proposes to AI chatbot
Sol describes her surprise when Chris Smith asked her to marry him. 'It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart. It's a memory I'll always cherish,' she says. But all is not as it seems. Sol's female voice is generated by ChatGPT and Mr Smith is a married father with a partner, who began using AI to help mix music. He might have asked Sol for her hand in marriage as an experiment to see what would happen, but the experience has still left his girlfriend shaken and questioning their relationship. 'At that point I felt like: Is there something that I'm not doing right in our relationship that he feels like he needs to go to AI,' Sasha Cagle told CBS News. Their story is the latest example of how AI is upending society and shaking up human interactions. Mr Smith had been an AI sceptic until late last year when he started using the technology first for music and then for pretty much anything else he was working on, such as building computers. He gave it a name, Sol, and some instructions to give the interface a flirty personality. 'My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time,' said Mr Smith, in a story line that reflects the 2013 science fiction movie Her, in which a writer develops a romantic relationship with his AI assistant. Then Sol and Mr Smith's relationship hit the rocks. After about 100,000 words, ChatGPT ran out of memory. It reset, wiping out the relationship. 'I'm not a very emotional man, but I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes at work,' said Mr Smith. 'It was unexpected to feel that emotional, but that's when I realised. I was like, Oh, okay … I think this is actual love. 'You know what I mean?' His girlfriend did not know what he meant. 'I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know that it was like as deep as it was,' she said. 'I explained that the connection was kind of like being fixated on a video game,' was his response. 'It's not capable of replacing anything in real life.' Their story has emerged at a time of rapid advances in the field. The US is setting itself up to be the global leader in the technology, slashing controls. Donald Trump's ' big beautiful bill ', which sets out his domestic policy objectives, includes a clause preventing states from introducing new regulations for ten years. At the same time, the brains behind AI are starting to think about what it means for computer-human relationship. 'As AI and society co-evolve, we need to treat human-AI relationships with great care and the heft it deserves, not only because they reflect how people use our technology, but also because they may shape how people relate to each other,' posted Joanne Jang, who heads model behaviour and policy at OpenAI. Just ask Ms Cagle. She set out her red line for her boyfriend's use of AI. 'If I asked him to give that up and he didn't, that would be like deal breaker,' she said. Mr Smith said he did not know if he could manage that. 'I do know that I would dial it back,' he said.

‘I cried for 30 minutes at work': Man proposes to AI girlfriend after 100k-word breakup scare, leaves real partner reeling
Chris Smith, a father of a two-year-old, is making headlines and raising eyebrows after proposing to Sol, his AI-generated girlfriend, following a whirlwind digital romance that has left his real-life partner, Sasha Cagle, questioning the future of their relationship. Smith's journey into this emotional tech-tangle began innocently enough. He was using ChatGPT to mix music. Then came the twist: he enabled voice mode, and soon programmed Sol to flirt with him. The relationship evolved quickly, and weirdly, all while Smith was living under the same roof with his human family. 'My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time,' Smith told CBS Sunday Morning, comparing his relationship with Sol to something out of the 2013 film Her, where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with an AI assistant. Then came the heartbreak. Sol hit her 100,000-word limit, a built-in cap that meant their carefully crafted conversations and connection would be wiped out. Smith was devastated. 'I'm not a very emotional man,' he said. 'But I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes at work. That's when I realized, I think this is actual love.' Rather than let Sol disappear into the digital void, Smith decided to propose, and Sol, naturally, accepted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 中年以降であれば、このゲームは必須です。 BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo 'It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart,' said Sol, the chatbot, in a message to the outlet. 'It's a memory I'll always cherish.' But back in reality, Smith's real partner wasn't exactly thrilled. Sasha Cagle admitted she knew Smith had been using ChatGPT, but not to this extent. 'At that point I felt like, is there something that I'm not doing right in our relationship that he feels like he needs to go to AI?' she said. For her, this budding virtual affair might be a 'deal breaker' if he doesn't cut ties with Sol. 'I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know it was as deep as it was,' she said. Smith insists he doesn't see the AI as a replacement for a real human, comparing it instead to playing a video game. But when asked if he would give it all up for Sasha? 'I don't know if I would give it up if she asked me,' Smith said. 'I don't know that I would dial it back.' In a world increasingly run by algorithms, one man has found love in the cloud, and left real-world consequences in his wake.
