The story struck me as a bit odd--where did the author find so many couples using such an oddball approach to fighting with each other? I guess you could do it with a request on some website, though you'd get a serious sampling bias that way, and it would take a fair bit of work to make sure you had more or less the real scoop. Or maybe the author asked a bunch of divorce lawyers for people who'd talk to him.
I can't imagine going to the computer to try to come up with something to say to my wife. Partly that's because I don't find the systems all that intelligent, and partly because it seems too indirect. If I'm angry or happy, I want to just say so myself, not ask a ghost writer. (Think of Cyrano as a cautionary tale.)
But I can believe some people do it. That you can get yourself in an echo chamber with AI that reinforces all your opinions--that sounds easy. In fact, it sounds faster than the traditional approach, which is to gripe to your friends and rely on them to take your side, until you've worked yourself up into fury.
But stories about walking around just reading the ChatGPT responses out loud to the spouse sound like absolutely no one I know.
I don't live in the phone, though.
