Man asks ChatGPT for advice on how to cut salt, ends up in hospital with hallucinations
When asked what could be a substitute for the chloride in table salt, ChatGPT suggested that he use sodium bromide.
A 60-year-old man asked ChatGPT for advice on how to replace table salt, and the substitution landed him in the emergency room suffering from hallucinations and other symptoms...
...Once his symptoms were under control, the patient, who had previously studied nutrition in college, revealed that he had been reading about the harms sodium chloride (table salt) can have on someone's health. Instead of removing sodium (in the form of table salt and other food additives), as is often recommended, he decided he wanted to conduct a personal experiment to completely remove chloride from his diet. He then asked ChatGPT for suggestions on what could be a substitute for the chloride in table salt...
...The patient remained in the hospital for treatment for three weeks...
[I bet his insurance provider had a stroke when they got the bill for that]
...In response to the bromide case, OpenAI told Fox News Digital that no one should be using ChatGPT for health advice.
