Just a few years after its launch, ChatGPT has evolved into a go-to digital assistant for tasks ranging from quick searches to event planning. While it undeniably offers convenience, treating it as an all-knowing authority can be risky. ChatGPT is a large language model, not an infallible source of truth, and it is prone to misinformation and fabricated responses. Understanding where its usefulness ends is crucial.
Here are five important areas where experts strongly advise turning to real people, not AI chatbots:

ChatGPT cannot be trusted with health-related decisions. It is known to provide confident yet inaccurate information, and it may even acknowledge errors only after being corrected. Even healthcare professionals experimenting with AI agree that it can offer only broad, generic insights — not tailored guidance based on individual symptoms.
Despite this, the chatbot can still respond if you ask, “Hey, what’s that sharp pain in my side?”, instead of urging you to seek urgent medical care. The core issue is that chatbots cannot distinguish fact from fiction. They generate responses by blending massive amounts of data, regardless of accuracy.
