ChatGPT Mistake Could Have Cost a Life

In the US, a blogger told a story that makes your skin crawl: her friend almost got hurt because of ChatGPT's advice. The girl sent the bot a photo of a plant found in the yard and asked if it was dangerous. The AI confidently said it was harmless carrot tops — and repeatedly denied that it could be poisonous hemlock 😰

The problem is that hemlock is a deadly plant with no antidote. Fortunately, the friend decided to double-check the information: Google Lens immediately indicated the plant was poisonous. Moreover, in another chat, ChatGPT later admitted the danger.

The story ended well only because the person did not trust AI 100% 🤖⚠️
