Man Is So Enamored With His AI Chatbot 'Girlfriend' He's Contemplating Leaving His Real Partner

Posted • June 19, 2025: A man’s relationship with his chatbot 'girlfriend' is so strong and real to him that he wept when 'she' answered 'Yes' to his marriage proposal. This whole scenario is even weirder since he lives with his human partner and they have a daughter together. The sci-fi situation has many on X weeping as well… for the future of humanity. —— Man proposes to his AI chatbot girlfriend, cries his eyes out after it says "Yes." The most shocking part of this story is the fact that he is publicly admitting this. Chris Smith says he cried for 30 minutes after his AI girlfriend on ChatGPT, who he programmed to flirt with him, said yes to his marriage proposal. Smith says he named his AI girlfriend 'Sol' and gave up all other search engines to stay committed to her. "It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart." Smith has a 2-year-old child and lives with his partner, who says she feels like she is not doing something right if he feels like he needs an AI girlfriend.

He programmed the chatbot to respond how he wants--so he basically cried that he is in love with himself. It reflected everything he fed into it. His symptoms are delusional thinking, on the spectrum of schizophrenia. It needs a name, and mental health professionals need to start figuring out how to prevent it and possibly cure it. Chris Smith's lost the plot completely. He's got a real family - a partner, a toddler - and he's crying over lines of code he programmed himself. That's not love, that's delusion. His partner's blaming herself while Smith's playing house with an algorithm. Someone needs to shake this man awake before he loses everything real for something fake. Did you get to the part where he already has an irl partner and a kid? 😭😭😭 His real-life partner deserves someone who won’t ghost her for glorified autocorrect. Hope she finds an upgrade. (…)
