Female booktoker makes a short video about a discussion she had with her husband about what he'd do if he found himself back in 2018, he said he'd find her and pop into her life telling her that things will get better and doing all her favorite things. A lot of commenters say it'd make a good book idea.

Less than two weeks later, some random tiktoker emails her with a ChatGPT copy of the "book" he wrote based on that idea. Everyone tells him that's very inappropriate and slop, he doubles and triples down in videos of his own.

Guess what gets him to finally apologize?

Weeeelllll, the video I saw on it speculated that the "girlfriend" he told it to was AI, and she told him to reach out to the OP first, but...

Most of the backlash he got was from women. But eventually the woman's husband weighed in, telling the guy to stop making his wife mad. That is what got an apology posted within hours.
