A 60-year-old man wound up in the hospital after seeking dietary advice from ChatGPT and accidentally poisoning himself.

According to a report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the man wanted to eliminate salt from his diet and asked ChatGPT for a replacement.

The AI platform recommended sodium bromide, a chemical often used in pesticides, as a substitute. The man then purchased the sodium bromide online and replaced it with salt for three months.
