A woman in Greece found a sign that her marriage was over at the bottom of a coffee mug, or at least that's what ChatGPT told her.
After enjoying a cup of joe with her husband, she thought it would be fun to snap a photo of the leftover grounds for AI to read—a modern take on an ancient practice called tasseography. The divination method, more famously done with tea leaves, is seeing a trendy resurgence on platforms like TikTok.
ChatGPT was quick to point out patterns of infidelity swirling around in the black sludge, hinting that her husband was fantasizing about other women. He brushed off the unfortunate omen and assured his wife it was just a joke, yet three days later he was served with divorce papers. The case has sparked a larger discussion in Greece about superstition and the nuances of tasseography, with experts claiming the art is more complex than simply uploading a picture to the web.
