Chat GPT Breakup

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Before we get to Curtis's story about the way people
are breaking up with people now, which is ridiculous. I
mentioned today's National Donut Day. Yea, do you guys know
who came up with donut Day. It wasn't a donut
shop you would think it would be like a donut shop.
It was the Salvation Army.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Really.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
They established National Donut Day in nineteen thirty eight to
honor their donut lassies, which I had never heard of.
Donut lassies where they're like ladies who just went around
giving people donuts. They were women who traveled to France
to serve donuts to soldiers during World War One.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Interesting. Yeah, so that's a random fact.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I didn't even know what a donut lassie was today.
All right, so Curtis, you got to tell this story?
Is this is ridiculous?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, I thought, you know, it's a sign of the
changing times. You know, we got all this new technology,
especially AI being at the forefront of everything now. Yeah,
and people have some interesting uses for AI. Of course,
people use it to like craft work emails, all this stuff. Well,
I have a friend who who was showing me that
he used it to craft a breakup text. Uh, and

(01:06):
I was shocked.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
He couldn't craft his own breakup text.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
You know, he probably could if you wanted to, you know,
spend time doing that. This robot is gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
This is how lazy we are. We're using robots to
break up with people, and you're breaking up by text.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah. Yeah, he was like, here's the prompt that he
put in was basically a nice way to say f off.
Uh it's and the robot did all this stuff and
put all these compliments and formatted it in a way
that didn't sound so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Wow, And then he sent the text.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
He sent the text.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, so it's not bad enough that he's breaking up
by text, but he's having a robot to generate the
text to break up with this person.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah. I mean, you guys, so obviously you guys don't
like it.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, you know, it's just so I can't you just
pour your feelings out and be nice about it, just
say listen, hey, you know it's it's not really working out.
You know, I'm sorry, you know, wish you the best.
That's of things.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Sure, that's all generic. I guess.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So we're using AI.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You know, Yeah, I'm sure he's not the only one.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm sure other people know what.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
What now, now that I think about it, I have
a friend who was dating someone. Well, I'll just say this, Paul,
remember Paul. Paul was, yeah, he's out of the country
right now, so who cares that. Uh. Paul was seeing
this woman and he showed me. He was like, I
needed to write something nice for her. So I had
He used a chat GPT to create a nice love

(02:31):
letter and he sent it to her and he know,
he looked over it and he was like, yeah, look
at this, that's what I'm sending to her. And I'm like,
this is none of you. This is all a computer. Yeah,
he goes, yeah, so what it looks very nice? And
oh yeah she loved it. And she didn't know it
was a robot.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
The robot should be getting something, not him. She should
have figured that out.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I mean, I know, Paul, I think you knew her too.
She trust me. She wasn't figuring that out. She was like, oh,
he's so lovely. But breaking up yeah, I just think
I think breaking up by text is so cold, no
matter what the text says. I mean, even a phone
call or in person.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
What if you really never want to hear their voice,
we'll see him again.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, I guess although you know what I had to.
I broke up with a girl one time, and oh
my god, it took me like six hours to do
it because well, she was coming in from you know.
I picked her up at the airport and uh, I
was going to give her a ride home, and then
I said, can we just take a pit stop. And
we went to this nice place where there was a
fountain and everything, and I set her down and it
just this drug out forever, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, text her next time. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's like if we would have had text back then,
I probably would have used it.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Nice places for what are you doing that?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know, Curtis. I took her to a nice fountain. Yeah,
I should have took her with some alley somewhere behind
the TGI Fridays and said, well listen, it's over. Yeah,
