A Greek woman has filed for divorce, claiming that ChatGPT revealed her husband's alleged affair through an AI-driven interpretation of coffee cup patterns.

According to Greek City Times, the woman turned to the AI chatbot for a modern spin on tasseography, the traditional art of interpreting coffee grounds to foresee the future. Married for over 12 years and mother to two children, she reportedly submitted images of coffee residue from both her and her husband's cups, asking ChatGPT to read them.

The AI's interpretation left her stunned: it allegedly pointed to her husband being romantically involved with a younger woman determined to split their family. It even suggested that his “destined partner” had a name beginning with the letter "E," while her own reading indicated betrayal and household turmoil.

Her husband, speaking to a local TV channel, dismissed the claim as baseless and said, “I laughed it off as nonsense. But she took it seriously. She asked me to leave, told our kids we were getting divorced, and then I got a call from a lawyer. That's when I realised this wasn't just a phase.”

Refusing any attempt at mutual separation, the woman served formal divorce papers within three days.

The man also claimed his wife has a history of embracing mystical beliefs, recalling a prior incident where she followed an astrologer’s guidance for nearly a year. His lawyer emphasized that AI interpretations hold no legal weight. “He is innocent until proven otherwise,” the lawyer said.

While the unusual case has sparked widespread discussion across Greek social media, legal professionals have reiterated that AI-generated predictions cannot be used as evidence in court.
