AI incidents

Reports of AI-related harm and adverse experiences affecting people’s safety, wellbeing, rights and livelihoods. Explore what happened and the evidence available.

NOPE’s core concern is when AI communicates with a person, acts on their behalf, or depicts or impersonates them. The tracker also records consequential decisions, claims and privacy harms involving AI. Each case needs a described connection between AI use and the harm, including private information recorded into or disclosed to an AI service. Each account is reviewed for publication; claims may remain uncorroborated or disputed. How we review and count cases

Greek husband says his wife filed for divorce after ChatGPT, asked to read their coffee cups, claimed he was having an affair

A Greek husband said on the morning show To Proino in April 2025 that his wife of 12 years filed for divorce after she photographed their Greek coffee cups and asked ChatGPT to 'read' them, in the manner of traditional coffee-ground fortune-telling. According to his account, relayed by Greek City Times and international outlets, the chatbot said he was fantasising about a woman whose name began with E and that he was already cheating, and that the other woman wanted to destroy their home. He said he laughed it off, but his wife asked him to leave, told their two children they were divorcing, and had him served with divorce papers three days later when he refused a mutual separation. He said she had earlier spent a year persuaded by an astrologer; his lawyer said a chatbot's reading has no legal standing. The account is the husband's; the wife's account, the chatbot's actual replies and the outcome of the proceedings are not reported.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 3 sources, 1 underlying account · Added 24/10/2026

Cases may have several effects and sources. Mixed accounts qualify when they include a reported harm or adverse experience. People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.

A source’s existence, the experience it reports and AI’s causal role are separate questions. A lawsuit records allegations unless a subsequent finding establishes them.
