ChatGPT, an AI language model, was used to officiate the wedding of Reece Wiench and Deyton Truitt at the Historic Morrison Church in Morrison, Colorado. The couple fed the chatbot personal information about them to incorporate into the remarks during the ceremony, and while they didn’t know what exactly the bot would say during the event, it was able to successfully carry out its role.
Key Points:
- Reece Wiench and Deyton Truitt used ChatGPT to officiate their wedding in Colorado, where a licensed marriage official is not required to conduct ceremonies.
- Initially, ChatGPT was hesitant about its ability to conduct the ceremony, stating, “I can’t do this, I don’t have eyes, I don’t have a body. I can’t officiate at your wedding.”
- The couple provided the chatbot with personal information, which was woven into ChatGPT’s remarks during the ceremony.
- The couple was unaware of what the bot would say during the ceremony and used a robot mask over a speaker to give the illusion of someone speaking.
- The wedding was planned in just five days before Truitt’s deployment for the Army, with the quick setup suggesting the convenience and flexibility of employing AI in such roles.
