People used to give their spouses flowers after a big argument, but this husband chose to "write" an apology letter instead. 

As of this writing, ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence models are still pretty new to most people. They're finding more and more usage everyday, from editing photos to writing unique copy. Lots of people have also been using it for random everyday things, like writing summaries or even churning out work reports for them. Its usefulness seems endless! 

This man flew too close to the sun, though. He tried to get ChatGPT to write out the kind of note that you should really and truly write out yourself, not get someone else to write for you. 

While we're on the subject of things you should and shouldn't say to your significant other…These people felt comfortable sharing some relationship secrets with Reddit, but they'd never dare tell their spouse in person!

    Font - Now the f up. After the last text between her and I, I head off to my daily morning stand up meeting. There are about 12 of us in the meeting, half in the room, the other half working remote. Everyone just goes around the room and gives a quick, < 5 minute, status update on the progress on their project they have made, ask questions, provide details on any roadblocks they have run into. Still having the argument fresh in my mind, I had tuned out of the meeting and went to ChatGPT and thou

    Font - I then sat there for a few seconds waiting for the response to come back from the AI, but nothing...just a blank screen....and then.... everyone in the room and on the call started laughing. I look closer to realize that I hadn't typed it into ChatGPT, I'd typed it into the Teams chat box for the meeting I was just in.

Reply Share 3 +3 23 hr. ago We had already gotten over the argument, actual apologies were already made.

    Font - faux glove 14 hr. ago Please don't apologize to your wife through ChatGPT. You're dramatically over-estimating how cute, funny and endearing the concept is. It's lazy, lacks genuine emotion, and smacks of being unwilling to make the apology yourself.
