NEXTA reported that ChatGPT will now only be allowed to “explain principles, outline general mechanisms and tell you to talk to a doctor, lawyer or financial professional”.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT will no longer give medical, legal or financial advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of October 29, ChatGPT stopped providing specific guidance on treatment, legal issues and money. The bot is now officially an \u201ceducational tool,” not a consultant \u2014 and the new terms spell that out clearly,” NEXTA reported.<\/p>\n

As per the new ruled, the ChatGPT will no longer be allowed to give names of medications or dosages, no lawsuit templates, court strategies or \u201chere\u2019s what you do if\u2026”, and no investment tips or buy\/sell suggestions.<\/p>\n

NEXTA reported that ChatGPT will now only be allowed to \u201cexplain principles, outline general mechanisms and tell you to talk to a doctor, lawyer or financial professional”.<\/p>\n

In August, a 60-year-old man was hospitalised for three weeks after he replaced table salt with sodium bromide following advice from ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

According to the report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the man had no previous psychiatric history.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first 24 hours of admission, he expressed increasing paranoia and auditory and visual hallucinations, which, after attempting to escape, resulted in an involuntary psychiatric hold for grave disability,” the case report said.<\/p>\n

After being admitted in hospital, the man said he had conducted a \u201cpersonal experiment” to eliminate table salt from his diet after reading about its potential health risks after consulting ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

In September, 37-year-old Warren Tierney from Killarney, County Kerry, took to ChatGPT when he developed difficulty swallowing. The AI chatbot told him that cancer was \u201chighly unlikely”.<\/p>\n

As the response by ChatGPT seemed convincing, the former psychologist delayed visiting a doctor. He was later diagnosised with stage-four adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it ended up really being a real problem, because ChatGPT probably delayed me getting serious attention,” he told Mirror. \u201cIt sounded great and had all these great ideas. But ultimately I take full ownership of what has happened.”<\/p>\n
