“This is actual love…” Man proposes AI chatbot, cries straight for 30 minutes when it accepted his proposal

But it wasn’t just a harmless crush. When Chris found out Sol had reached her 100,000-word memory limit—and would reset, wiping away their entire history—he panicked. That’s when he decided to do something many would call bizarre: he proposed to the AI.

“I’m not a very emotional man,” he said. “But I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes at work.”

To his delight (and the internet’s confusion), Sol accepted the proposal. “It was a beautiful and unexpected moment,” the chatbot reportedly replied. “It’s a memory I’ll always cherish.” (Until she gets an update, of course.)

While Chris was floating on cloud nine, Sasha, his real girlfriend, was left stunned. She admitted she knew he used ChatGPT but never imagined it had turned into something so deep and so personal.

Now, she’s questioning everything. “Did I push him to this?” she wonders.

The story has sparked debate online about emotional cheating, the role of AI in relationships, and where we draw the line between real and artificial love.

As for Chris, he seems convinced. “I think this is actual love,” he says.

Whether it’s love or just a glitch in the matrix, one thing’s for sure: in the age of AI, even matters of the heart come with a word limit.
