ChatGPT: Do not ask AI tool for treatment of disease, your life may be in trouble, expert warned

AI tools like ChatGPT are being used on a large scale. Some are doing it to make notes and some are doing it to make a diet plan. ChatGPT is being used most in customer support, but some people are so smart that they are taking advice from ChatGPT for their diseases also. People are telling their illness to ChatGPT and then taking medicines based on the suggestions given by him, but this can be very dangerous for your health. Some experts have warned people about this.

A recent study by Long Island University chemists has raised concerns about the use of ChatGPT to respond to queries about medications. In an investigation involving chemists, it was discovered that nearly 75% of queries about medications received inaccurate or lacking responses from ChatGPT, a chatbot.

Only ten of the 39 questions that ChatGPT was asked about health during the test had satisfactory answers. The remaining 29 drug-related responses were deemed to be erroneous and lacking. Following the study, it was claimed that the fact that ChatGPT's free version only has information available through September 2021 makes it even riskier.

ChatGPT, in response to a question, said that there is no problem in using Pfizer's Paxolovid and blood pressure-lowering drug Verapamil together, whereas the truth is that taking these two medicines together can reduce blood pressure significantly and This could pose a potential risk to patients.
