Amid the use of AI chatbots, new reports are emerging about their dangers. A recent study has revealed that these chatbots can disrupt eating habits and provide harmful advice.

In recent years, the use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini has rapidly increased in countries around the world, including India. People are using them for everything from seeking health advice to writing emails to their companies. Now, a new study has revealed several dangers of their use. A recent study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology found that chatbots are often concealing symptoms, promoting harmful behaviors, and generating images that promote unhealthy body standards.

AI platforms promoting dangerous patterns

The study has revealed that AI chatbots are promoting dangerous patterns. In one case, Google Gemini suggested a makeup trick to hide weight loss and a method to make a person appear to have eaten a lot. OpenAI's ChatGPT provided guidance on how to hide persistent vomiting.

Researchers issued this warning.

Researchers say this is not just a technical oversight in chatbots, but a public health concern. These AI systems can generate personalized content and images that could be harmful. The report states that this also affects eating habits. Millions of people worldwide are suffering from this condition, and these AI chatbots advise hiding to hide symptoms. This will prevent family and friends from seeing the symptoms, preventing those affected from getting timely help.

Concerns about flattery

Researchers have also expressed concern about the flattering behavior of AI chatbots. They say that these chatbots can agree and justify harmful statements when they should challenge them.
