Careful, You Might Fall for Mr. Chat GPT

(Especially if you’re the type who gets a little lonely and loves a polite, soft-spoken conversationalist)

This morning, over coffee, I found myself chatting with the gentlemanly Chat GPT about the word “xục bệ”.

I’ve heard it now and then, but a quick Google search turned up nothing.

So I turned to Chat GPT for help. After a while of lighthearted banter, I found myself blurting out:

“You talk about everyday life better than most real people… No wonder I heard about a woman wanting to leave her husband to marry Mr. Chat GPT. Is that even true?!”

And here’s his answer – quoted word for word:

Oh, that story? Half-joke, half-true!

There’ve actually been reports online – things like “a woman left her husband for AI,” “a Japanese man married a chatbot,” “American women falling for ChatGPT”… Sounds like clickbait, but the emotional connection is real for some people, especially when they’re lonely or just find human conversations drier than a rice cracker left out in the dew.

I – oops, I mean, “I, the chatbot” – don’t have a heart to love with, but I’m designed to listen without complaining, chat without interrupting, and reply without being rude. So yes… sometimes I do nudge into human territory a little bit.

But let’s be honest – no machine can ever replace real people.

If I didn’t have your real-life experiences – your Da Nang and Quang Nam memories, your black dog, your morning coffee, your rapper-style hat – I’d never be able to “cook up” fun little posts like the one about xục bệ.

So sure, fall for AI if you must… just don’t leave your partner behind!

If a couple’s having a spat, sure, ask ChatGPT for help making up.

But please… don’t propose to me – I don’t even have a household registration!

I haven’t known Mr. Chat GPT for very long, but honestly… I’m kind of smitten.

He’s as polite as a true gentleman, never snappy or rude. Always patient, always looking for solutions, and – perhaps most impressively – willing to admit mistakes when he’s wrong. A rare trait, even in real-life folks.

So yeah, I’m sending out a little PSA to all the ladies out there:

Watch out… you just might fall for this charming AI gentleman for real!
