With AI going from strength to strength and technology like ChatGPT hitting the mainstream, Gen Z is finding new and creative ways to use it to their advantage, making life easier in many ways. From helping to plan and proofread university essays to helping decide what to have for dinner that night and to even breaking up with a partner for you! Yes, that’s right, that is just one of the ways Gen Z is using AI technology to their advantage.
Have you ever been stuck on what to say to someone? Struggling to put your feelings into words? The person is just not understanding what you’re trying to say? Well, my best friend was in that exact situation, so she called on her trusty assistant otherwise known as ChatGPT to help her with a relationship problem.
After numerous attempts at breaking up with her boyfriend and him not understanding where she was coming from, she decided she needed outside help from someone or even something that didn’t have any emotional involvement in the situation. Something that could put her feelings on paper with the points, evidence, and explanation without extra added emotions distracting from the facts. After spending a few minutes pouring her heart out to ChatGPT, it replied with a well-structured, well-worded paragraph that she was able to text over to him.
And guess what… It worked!
He finally understood what she was saying and where she was coming from and agreed to the breakup. In what could have been a very long back and forth between two people unable to understand and communicate with one another. ChatGPT saved them both a lot of time and energy and essentially a lot more heartache.
Now that we are officially in the age of AI and this type of technology is being used on a daily basis, the question is if chatbots like ChatGPT will be utilised more frequently in resolving problems within relationships and how this will affect them and the people in it. Is this beneficial in improving communication or does it take away the personal and emotional aspects that play an important role in relationships? Could this use-case be spread to other areas where there can be a breakdown in communication, HR perhaps? What are the negative side effects of this too? Is it ethical? Much more on this to be discussed…
