AI is not without risk: a man involuntarily poisoned after asking for advice from Chatgpt

“Less friendly and cooler”: angry chatgpt users after the adoption of new changes

But little by little symptoms appear and man goes to the emergency room. After several exams, he is hospitalized and taken in hand by medical teams. At the beginning, man thinks that it was his neighbor who poisons him but he then developed paranoid troubles in the hospital, notably wary of the water used to him. Hearing and visual hallucinations are then added to other psychological symptoms.

Once its mental health has been stabilized, physical symptoms have appeared: appearance of pimples, recurring insomnia, decoration of movements and excessive thirst.

Correction in the latest version of Chatgpt

All these symptoms have oriented medical teams to bromine poisoning, which is confirmed when the patient confides in salt using sodium bromide in his diet. Examinations have revealed that its bromine rate in the body was 200 times higher than the maximum level recommended.

Arrested by the fact that it was artificial intelligence software that recommended the use of bromine to their patient, the doctors wanted to investigate. If the victim was probably “trapped” by the GPT-3.5 version, the latest version (GPT-5) fortunately no longer recommends the use of brom as an alternative to kitchen salt, even alerting to his health dangers.

Chatgpt no longer wants to answer you? AI affected by operating problems on Tuesday

Many people use Chatgpt or other artificial intelligence software in their daily lives. But some of them place in these platforms an excessive confidence, which can therefore have a harmful effect on health, as shown by this case of poisoning.
