This woman is a flat out lunatic.

TLDR: She believes in past lives and after conversations with ChatGPT, it convinced her she would meet her soulmate at a certain date and time at the beach. She got dressed up in party clothes and went there, and then was emotionally crushed when said soulmate didn't pop out of "spiral time". And then she fell for this same suggestion a second time.

This story is just "what happens when a super-gullible person who swallows a lot of New Age tripe meets a chatbot and believes everything she asks it to say".

Great, um, journalism NPR...
