It may have been artificial, but in this case, it was not intelligent.
We live in a world where the power of Artificial Intelligence is starting to impact many aspects of our lives – and not always for the best.
Case in point: a Dutch couple had their marriage annulled after the person officiating used a ChatGPT-generated speech.
Yes, you read it right.
The AI speech that was intended to be ‘playful’ but authorities decided that ‘it failed to meet legal requirements.’
This was announced in a court ruling published this week.
Reuters reported:
“The pair from the city of Zwolle, whose names were redacted from the January 5 decision under Dutch privacy rules, argued that they had intended to marry regardless of whether the right wording was used when they took their vows.
According to the decision, the person officiating their ceremony last April 19 asked whether they would ‘continue supporting each other, teasing each other and embracing each other, even when life gets difficult’.”
