I read that as she was having an affair and was looking for any bullshit reason to leave him
Given the average answers I get from AI, i dare to bet he won't even begin an affair if naked woman start throwing themselves at him.
These people are on the fast lane for removing themselves from the gene pool in never before imagined ways.
The (now divorced) couple do have 2 kids so those genes will continue existing well into the future.
Still not sure I entirely believe the story but there are a few other mentions with a bit more details
Perhaps we shouldn't make jokes about Eugenics
I'm going to take a risk and leave here the shortcut for Wikipedia's page on eugenics.
Next I'm going to add that a person acting/navigating their life based off stupidity or delusion incur in an incresead probability of, by their own actions and choices, remove themselves from the population either by isolation, self endangerment or any behavior that for some reasons makes them non eligible as viable partners.
This isn't about a group being labelled and targeted by another for forceful removal of society.
I think it is wildly inappropriate to try to tell someone that they shouldn't have kids. Intelligence or looks are not something you can measure are you will always favor people who are like you.
Also the entire idea of Eugenics is complete BS. Trying to bread a human population has no real impact as you would need to commit genocide. Humans are not nearly as simple as a pea plants.
People with currently-known genes for conditions like Tay-Sachs (recessive gene, if a baby gets two copies they are a normal baby the first several months, then get progressive nerve damage until they die around three), or Huntington's (relevant gene is dominant, but condition manifests in adulthood) may choose not to have kids, or use technology like PGD to select embryos without the relevant genes, or in the case of recessive genes may refuse as spouse any potential partner that also has the gene.
Those are complicated decisions, and nothing should be forced, but it's important to be able to talk about. There shouldn't be a taboo on talking about how parents' decisions affect their children, even if those decisions involve genetics.
When I was still on reddit, I would occasionally come across a comment I liked.
It could be something as simple as "The (local sports team) is going to (do something sports related) this year!"
And I, without context, would reply "Please have babies."
Sometimes massive upvotes. Sometimes massive downvotes.
NEVER made any sense. And thats fine.

AI tasseography – a form of divination that interprets shapes left by tea leaves (or sometimes coffee grounds or wine sediment) after a cup is drunk.
So. Instead of just, idk, feeding ChatGPT all known details of the SO and maybe a dump of their messages or whatever and actually have a chance of it giving you a proper answer...they... just gave it a pic of a drunk coffee cup‽ Wtf is wrong with people
Even then ChatGPT would just give you an answer based on the wording of how you asked the question to try and agree with you.
You're a reaaaal asshole if you feed your SO's messages to a third party corporation
