Popular TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has blamed the use of ChatGPT-generated messages for the misunderstanding that reportedly led to the collapse of his relationship with fellow content creator Jarvis.
The controversy followed the circulation of an alleged private Instagram chat in which Jarvis accused Peller of repeatedly ending the relationship, both abroad and in person, before suggesting they stage a breakup offline while maintaining appearances online. Jarvis, in the message, made it clear she was no longer willing to continue.
Amid the backlash that followed the leaked chat and reports of a car accident involving Peller, the TikTok star addressed the situation, insisting that he never intended to hurt Jarvis.
Peller said he often relied on ChatGPT to help him phrase messages during disagreements, admitting that some of the words sent to Jarvis did not genuinely reflect his intentions.
“Chai, u Know i was just trying to be a man. Because I usually use ChatGpt each time we have an issue, he will tell me to say things, but I don’t mean it.”
While the circumstances surrounding the accident remain unclear, authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
The episode has since sparked widespread debate online about emotional responsibility, the limits of artificial intelligence in personal relationships, and the dangers of outsourcing sensitive conversations to technology.
