NYC Woman's Date Goes Horribly Wrong After ChatGPT 'Exposes' Man's Secret Family | Viral Story

A bizarre dating anecdote from New York has grabbed attention online after a woman allegedly uncovered her date’s hidden double life, thanks to his excessive reliance on ChatGPT. The incident was shared

on X by dating coach Blaine Anderson, who said the story came directly from a 27-year-old woman navigating the city’s dating scene.According to Anderson, the woman had gone out with a finance professional in his late 40s. What stood out almost immediately was his constant dependence on ChatGPT during the date. From looking up cocktail trivia to crafting conversation points, the man reportedly kept consulting the AI and even read its answers aloud as they ate.“The guy is using ChatGPT on his phone throughout their meal (e.g., asking about the history of their cocktails and reading the responses out loud to her). Toward the end of the night, she playfully calls him out for being obsessed with ChatGPT,” the post read.Trying to keep things casual, the woman eventually joked about his fixation on the AI. Instead of brushing it off, the man leaned into it, reportedly declaring that ChatGPT was his closest companion. He then handed her his phone and encouraged her to ask the AI anything she wanted about him.Curious, the woman typed: “Tell me something you wouldn't share with anyone else that you really like about me.” What followed stunned her. ChatGPT responded: “I love how you're a caring husband to your wife and father to your children.”

The revelation instantly shifted the tone of the story, and the post quickly went viral, triggering waves of reactions online. One user remarked, “People are missing the real horror here: he trusted ChatGPT more than basic human discretion. If your best friend is an LLM, you probably shouldn't be outsourcing your personality or your secrets to it on a first date.”Another added, “He mistook the AI for a wingman when it is actually a court stenographer with perfect recall. This is the ultimate failure of 'context awareness.' He thought he was showing off his tech-savviness, but he was really just handing over the discovery documents for his own divorce. The 'hallucination' here wasn't the AI; it was his belief that he could compartmentalize a digital brain that connects every dot by design.”A third user summed it up bluntly: “This is why you do not bring your digital best friend on a first date. The AI just exposed a whole family like a background check. Imagine flirting and getting a plot twist instead. Technology is helpful, but sometimes it should stay in your pocket.”
