Crypto billionaire claims AI advised him to break up with actress

Crypto mogul Justin Sun, founder of TRON, has stirred controversy by publicly detailing a past relationship with actress Jing Tian, including a marriage proposal and their eventual separation. Sun claims that Jing Tian initially proposed having a child together and offered her eggs, to which he responded by offering her parents a $30 million RMB (approximately $130 million NTD) betrothal gift.

However, Sun alleges that after arriving in the United States, Jing Tian changed her mind. She reportedly increased her demands, asking for $50 million USD (approximately $1.5 billion NTD) for an "egg retrieval condition." Instead of consulting legal or personal advisors, Sun states he turned to the AI language model Claude for guidance on this significant financial decision.

Your personal relationship problems, I'm not taking the blame for this!

According to Sun, Claude decisively advised him against paying the $50 million. Following this AI-driven counsel, Sun rejected Jing Tian's demands, leading to the immediate dissolution of their relationship. The actress subsequently departed the U.S., marking the end of their engagement.

I am a heavy AI user.

This revelation has sparked widespread discussion online, with many questioning why a billionaire would rely on AI for such a personal and significant decision. Sun, however, has openly admitted to being a "heavy AI user," stating that his company routinely makes multi-million dollar decisions based on AI recommendations. He confessed that this particular instance, involving his relationship, was the first time he felt confused or uncertain about following an AI's directive.

Adding another layer to the narrative, Sun mentioned that he even had Claude review the lengthy post detailing the breakup before publishing it. He humorously recounted that the AI expressed displeasure and disavowed responsibility, stating, "Your personal relationship problems, I'm not taking the blame for this!" This exchange has led to widespread amusement, with some jokingly calling AI a "billionaire killer."

Don't give her that 50 million dollars.
