Experts weigh in on safety of AI-generated meal plans for those with food allergies

A Polish study explored the potential of AI-powered meal planning for people with food allergies using ChatGPT, an AI-powered large language model developed by OpenAI. The study found that ChatGPT generally produced balanced diet plans for people with food allergies, but not all of them were safe. The study's primary criterion was safety, which measured whether the specified food allergen was left out of the suggested meal. The researchers found that ChatGPT included almond milk in nut-free diets, which could be very dangerous for people with nut allergies. The study concluded that AI-generated nutritional advice can be dangerous for people suffering from food allergies, and meals served up by ChatGPT should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.
