AI Health Advice? Think Twice | Boston News

AI chatbots like ChatGPT are getting popular for health advice—but they’re often unreliable, spitting out fake facts or twisted details while sounding super confident. A new study shows people trust them way too much, sometimes without realizing they’re not talking to a real doctor. Privacy’s another concern—your personal info might leak. Consumer Reports says use these tools only as a starting point, never for diagnosis or treatment. Always verify with trusted sources like the CDC or MedlinePlus, and when it comes to your health, your doctor is still the gold standard—especially in emergencies.
