I'm pretty sure I already saw an article where a guy replaced his table salt with some other form of sodium because chat gpt suggested it. He ended up giving himself a disease that's been mostly eradicated in the modern day.
A poisoning that's rarely seen anymore but used to be more common. The heaps of data on bromism over the decades must not have made it into the training data.
Probably made it into the training data, but he didn't ask the right prompt to make it spit out the info.
ChatGPT isn't very good at grasping intent or considering consequences before you ask about specific things. It's still more A than I lol
It's like that "charge your iphone in the microwave" image that went around for a while but writ large and in language tailored to be more convincing.
Yup, he was eating sodium bromide instead of sodium chloride. Any significant amount of bromide is not good for ya.
