Greek woman divorces husband after chatgpt reads her coffee and finds out he’s been cheating
Some people get suspicious over text messages. Others snoop through phone calls or social media likes. But one Greek woman? She asked ChatGPT to read her husband’s coffee cup — and then filed for divorce based on what it said.
After 12 years of marriage and two kids, she brewed them both a Greek coffee one afternoon, snapped a photo of the leftover grounds, and uploaded it to ChatGPT — asking the AI to interpret what the old-school readers call “tasseography.” She expected a quirky little prediction. Instead, what she got felt like a punch to the gut.
According to her, ChatGPT told her that her husband was involved with a younger woman. Not just that — the AI apparently said this woman was trying to “tear their family apart.” And that was enough for her. Divorce proceedings were underway almost instantly.
Her husband, blindsided, told the story on the Greek morning show To Proino. “She’s often into trendy things,” he said. “One day, she made us Greek coffee and thought it would be fun to take pictures of the cups and have ChatGPT ‘read’ them.”
What came back was wild. The husband’s cup, according to the AI, showed a mysterious woman whose name started with “E” — someone he was supposedly fantasizing about and fated to be with. His wife’s cup? That one sealed the deal. It claimed he was already cheating and that this “other woman” had every intention of destroying their home.
“I laughed it off as nonsense,” the husband said. “But she took it seriously. She asked me to leave, told our kids we were getting divorced, and then I got a call from a lawyer. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a phase.”
He didn’t want to split — but three days later, divorce papers landed on his doorstep.
And it’s not the first time she’s leaned into the mystical. “A few years ago, she visited an astrologer and it took a whole year for her to accept that none of it was real,” he said.
His lawyer was quick to point out that ChatGPT’s “reading” obviously has no legal basis — and reminded the public that the man is “innocent until proven otherwise.”
Meanwhile, professional coffee readers are rolling their eyes. Real tasseography, they say, isn’t just about scanning a coffee cup photo. You have to study the foam, the residue, even the way the saucer looks — it’s an art. AI’s got nothing on it. But still… one Greek woman thought otherwise.
