As question ‘Who says romance is dead? Couples are using ChatGPT to write their wedding vows’ rises, more and more soon-to-be married couples are starting to look for other sources of inspiration for their vows. One such, is the ChatGPT, an AI based chatbot, that can generate compelling written responses, according to user prompts and provides support for overcoming writer’s block.
In the case of Elyse Nguyen, financial analyst at Qualcomm, the use of ChatGPT has helped alleviate stress regarding the writing of marriage vows. Although initially curious, the use of the chatbot for the preparation of her marriage vows ended providing her with what was needed for the structure and promises to her partner. Furthermore, it offered her humor, alliterations, analogies and metaphors, to make the whole talking more interesting.
This latest AI technology, is being integrated more and more into wedding planning apps and services. One example is the ‘Writer’s Block Assistant Tool’, developed by the wedding planning service, Joy. This tool can not only help with vows and speeches, but it can also give support when creating religious marriage contracts, wedding websites and thank you cards.
Although the use of AI technology is helpful, it still comes with its risks, such as misinformation and the potential to perpetuate biases. When it comes to writing wedding vows, it could raise more nuanced questions about whether or not people risk to lose something by using technology for what is supposed to be an emotional and spiritual moment in life.
The AI based chatbot, ChatGPT, is run by OpenAI, an company behind a wide range of AI innovations. The company has made it possible for third-party platforms to incorporate the technology and it is being used for a wide variety of things, from writing wedding vows, to drafting religious marriage contracts, to setting up websites for the special day.
Ellen Le, a product manager at a startup recently used AI technology, to draft an ‘about us’ page and write directions from San Francisco to her Napa Valley wedding. Meanwhile, Vishal Joshi, co-founder and CEO of Joy and a former student of AI and electrical engineering, is working on responsibly innovating using AI to advance the wedding and event industry as a whole.
When it comes to Michael Grinn, an anesthesiologist with practices in Miami and New York, AI technology helped him with writing the traditional Ketubah. Still, despite the advantages provided by AI, he will still write his own vows, since he believes it should be somewhat different than all the help he got along the way.
Overall, AI technology has become more accessible, and more and more people are turning to it for help with wedding planning. This can, if done responsibly, offer many advantages for soon to be married couples who are looking for help with vows and writing, but that also raises important questions about the potential risks of bias and misinformation when it comes to such an important life event.
