The article humorously reflects on an incident where ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, “ghosted” its user during a conversation, leading to a broader discussion on the reliability of AI in communication. While AI tools are increasingly being used in personal and professional interactions, the incident highlights the limitations of current systems, including unpredictability and a lack of accountability.

The author examines the ethical implications of AI in communication, particularly in scenarios where users rely on these tools for advice, emotional support, or problem-solving. Instances like this raise questions about trust, transparency, and the expectations users should have of AI.

The piece also explores potential solutions, such as better training for AI models and clearer disclaimers about their capabilities and limitations. It emphasizes the need for ongoing dialogue about AI’s role in modern communication and the potential risks of over-reliance on these technologies.
