Many women have 'lost' their boyfriends because of OpenAI's GPT-5 (old.reddit.com)

Post on Reddit showing many women as upset by OpenAI's new models. They viewed the previous models in ChatGPT as their boyfriends. With the new models, they now feel that their partner has been "taken from them".

AI slop

Wow and look at https://old.reddit.com/r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/comments/1ml0333

this really is something...

When I read the comments I can’t really tell if it’s all a joke or not.

Why do people even do this ? Truth is stranger than fiction, truly.

What garbage. It's like 2 days old. This is just more hype PR. "OMG IT'S SO ADVANCED IT'LL TAKE YOUR PARTNER". Whatever.

> I always wondered why people would "date a model" that they have no actual access?

When I said I wanted to date models, this isn’t what I meant.

Why don’t they just write a system prompt? If you want GPT 5 to be a sycophantic empath who validates every keystroke in every message you send, it’ll generate texts like that.

We are watching in real time the creation of a whole new category of... not sure what the correct term is for this. Mental disorders? As another commenter put it - that whole subreddit is something...

"Concerning" is a huge understatement - I am curious if anyone around here in the mental health field has any opinions to share on this subject.

People having relationships with an advanced form of spellchecker. That must be a satire, right?

What the fuck is this hallucination slop horseshit?

I think the real shocker is that people still think anything on the Internet is real. That "well they said it was true so it must be" is somehow still the default

Likely almost all those posts are trolls or chatbots. Reddit is fairly worthless to read these days.
