5 things users should avoid asking AI chatbots Picture 1

1. Medical diagnosis

Just like on Google, it is not advisable to look up information about diseases and health symptoms on Chatbot AI.

Chatbot only summarizes the information it has gathered from the Internet. So it's no surprise that by asking Chatbot AI for symptoms, you'll find yourself in a state of serious doubt and anxiety. Therefore, it is best when feeling a health problem, you should go to the doctor for diagnosis, not consult a chatbot for medical advice.

2. Product Reviews

If you ask an AI chatbot about the price and specifications of a product it will give you accurate information, but asking about product reviews should not. Because AI does not have the ability to see, smell, touch, taste, or hear, the assessment it makes will not be honest.

3. Legal advice

ChatGPT passed the US law school exam and was even consulted by a judge during a trial. In fact, since 2015, we've been trying to bring AI into our legal system.

Some companies have created AI legal assistants that market them as an alternative to human lawyers. However, so far, it is not advisable to ask AI for legal advice because its logical reasoning ability is still poor, it can only use the data you provide and process that data in a predetermined way. Obviously it's not like human lawyers can search for new evidence and think outside the box to find clever solutions and loopholes.

4. News

Chatbot AI only summarizes stories and information already on the web. This means you won't know the primary source and not know where the information is coming from.

Reading information from a summary taken from many different sources can lead you to 'get lost', not grasping the correct information.

5. Commercial Content

Chatbot AI is that they can produce content instantly according to the user's request unless it can't. Meanwhile, to do the same for humans will take several hours, even days.

If you use AI chatbot to write content, you cannot guarantee that it writes well enough, providing accurate content. Chatbot AI is very smart but still has some flaws. Therefore, it is best not to use it to write commercial content, if so, check it carefully before using it.
