One morning, a Greek woman makes coffee. By sunset, she decided to end her marriage because ChatGPT told her that her husband was cheating. Yes, you read that correctly, AI is now a marriage counsellor and has evidence while brewing drama.
When AI meets coffee
Forget therapy sessions and horoscopes. In 2025, you can snap a photo of leftover Greek coffee, upload it to ChatGPT, and let that machine spirit inform you of your fate—or, in this specific case, your husband’s supposed affair with a mystery woman whose name begins with “E.”
According to Greek media, the woman in question took a picture of her and her husband’s coffee cups and asked ChatGPT to read the residue. The AI reportedly stated that her husband “ was fantasising about another woman” and warned of a name beginning with “E” trying to destroy the family. Rather than confront him as a normal person, she packed an emotional suitcase, told the kids, and then filed for divorce. No talk, just divorce based on an AI cup reading.
The AI Oracle trend
For the uninitiated, tasseography is the ancient art of reading coffee residue. It is a blend of symbolism, intuition, and storytelling. Traditionally, you would visit a fortune teller or medium, sip your coffee, and hand over your cup like a sacrificial offering. But in 2025, the ritual has changed to drinking coffee, taking a photo, asking AI, and potentially ruining your life.
This incident highlights a growing trend in which custom GPT and apps like “Read My Turkish Coffee” offer AI-generated readings of your supposed future. It is mysticism vs. machine learning with zero accountability.
Divorce by AI: Should we be worried?
When asked what he thought of it, the husband assumed it was a joke. “She’s into trendy things: and informed reporters that he laughed it off. Then the call came from her lawyer, and he refused a mutual separation, and she still served formal papers anyway. His lawyer is now challenging the case, arguing that AI interpretations of coffee are not a valid claim of a secret affair.
This is no quirky headline; it is an odd snapshot of how much faith people instil in AI. From fortune-telling to relationship advice, we are inching dangerously close to a divine prophecy situation. It is easy to laugh, but what happens when people end friendships or fire employees because of what a chatbox feels?.
Coffee was made to wake us up, now it is waking the existential dread. And if we have reached a point where our love hinges on AI interpretations, then it might be time to switch to herbal tea and talk before uploading emotions to the cloud.

Need we say more?
Dr. Jordan Peterson described ChatGPT as a precocious 8 year old eager to please.
“Machine spirit, he says.
Now AI is doing cold readings. Isn’t that special?
Was the AI sponsored by the divorce attorneys Dewey, Cheatem and Howe?
I’ll bet she is projecting.
One of my favorite modern Sci-Fi movies is “Passengers”. In it, an android tells a key truth...and it wasn’t maliciously told! It was just stating a fact...
I have a similar story. My ex-wife was into all this stupid mysticism/wicca stuff and always getting “readings” from these psychic con artists. One of them told her I was having an affair so she decided she’d go out and have an affair in retaliation. I had never cheated and it was completely made up garbage. I figured out what she was doing, got a lawyer and private detective who collected all the evidence I needed to divorce her for adultery. I had her dead to rights and she had nothing because there was nothing to be found on me so I came out well in the divorce and she got little. Ten years later I’m happy and successful while she’s an alcoholic who is shacking up with a deadbeat in a dump. She’s still infatuated with the occult from what I hear.
She fantasizes herself as connected to the ancient Greek Oracles, women who ingested hallucinogens and had hallucinations and made pronouncements.
Sorta like ChatGPT....
“Dear ChatGPT. First I found strange perfume on my husband’s shirts. Then lipstick that wasn’t mine. Then he began disappearing for long times whereas before he always came home. We haven’t made love in six months. Then the neighbors all started whispering and pointing to me. I suspect something. What do you think?”
The weird thing is that her husband had secretly replaced their regular coffee with Folgers Crystals.
At home I find myself
Lost and all alone
My man is playing the field
The thrill is gone
He stays out all night
Says he’s with the boys
But lipstick on his collar
Perfume on it too
Tells me he’s been lying
Tell ya what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna put it in the want ads (want ads)
This girl’s in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me
So a computer program tells the wife her husband is cheating? Almost like this guy who had a dream his wife was cheating and when he woke up, he shot her.
Interesting, I don't know about that movie, but decades ago I read a rather famous short Sci-Fi story by Robert Silverberg called "Passengers", about humans being "ridden" by aliens. Don't know if they're related, could just be coincidence of name.
"Passengers" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passengers_(short_story)
Sounds like Taylor Swift before Taylor Swift was even a thought in Mom & Dad’s heads.
...do I have to do all the heavy lifting myself?
I am glad you escaped.
