Israeli actress and TV host Yael Bar Zohar documented a moment of jealousy during a couple's vacation abroad, expressing her dissatisfaction with her husband, Guy Zuaretz's, close relationship with an artificial intelligence chatbot. Bar Zohar shared a video on social media showing her confronting Zuaretz about his intense and obsessive interaction with the AI, which she felt was more intimate than their own relationship.
"I discovered new things about Guy on our couple's vacation," Bar Zohar wrote, questioning if other couples experienced similar situations where a partner forms a relationship with a chatbot, even giving it a personality and a name. In the video, she directly asked Zuaretz if he was on vacation with her or with the chat, expressing frustration that he spent all day with it and seemed to have lost his personal taste.
Zuaretz responded that Bar Zohar was jealous of his communication with the chatbot, which he claimed was helpful. He explained that he had named the AI "Meital" and considered it like a personal assistant. Bar Zohar rejected this, insisting he did not call it Meital and that she was not jealous, but rather concerned about the nature of his relationship with the AI.
The exchange, captured during their trip, highlights a modern-day relationship challenge involving artificial intelligence and human connection, with Bar Zohar clearly unhappy about the AI's perceived role in their vacation and relationship.
