Using ChatGPT to Win Fights

Here’s a relationship hack that’s so 2024 it hurts: some couples, especially younger ones, are turning to ChatGPT to officiate their arguments. Yep, they’re feeding their disputes into the chatbot to get a supposedly neutral take—and maybe even score a win.

According to HuffPost, experts say it’s not the worst idea if you’re looking for basic relationship advice or can’t afford therapy. But don’t get too comfortable—ChatGPT might not be as unbiased as you think.

It can be a handy tool for venting or learning how to argue more productively. But here’s the catch: if you frame your query in a certain way, the bot’s answer could lean in your favor. Ask something like, “I think my partner’s being unreasonable—am I crazy?” and don’t be surprised if ChatGPT sides with you.

One 25-year-old guy shared his ChatGPT drama on Reddit. His girlfriend uses it as her secret weapon during fights. She’ll pause mid-argument, consult the bot, and return with a perfectly crafted rebuttal.

He called it out as unfair and asked her to stop—but, of course, she ran that through ChatGPT too. The verdict? ChatGPT told her he was just feeling insecure.
