A couple in Hanoi argued after a woman’s habit of using AI chatbots for movie questions provoked her boyfriend’s jealousy and frustration. Ha Thu, 23, began using Gemini to clarify plot details while rewatching a superhero series ahead of a new installment. Her boyfriend initially reacted with surprise, saying, "Why didn't you ask me? You have a boyfriend right here." Thu found his jealousy amusing and began asking him more questions, but he lost patience, snapping, "The director is directing the plot like this, how am I supposed to know what to do?" Thu retorted, "Gemini has never raised her voice at me like that. I'd rather talk to an AI than talk to you." The remark caused a falling out, and the two barely spoke for a while. Thu recounted the argument to Gemini, which sided with her but also analyzed both perspectives and suggested ways to reopen the conversation. She found the advice objective and realized she had been harsh in comparing her boyfriend to a chatbot. The article notes that chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini are increasingly used for confiding, analyzing arguments, composing apologies, and seeking relationship advice, creating paradoxical situations in intimate relationships.
