Generative AI is redefining the concept of life hacks. Recently, ChatGPT has taken the spotlight for its ability to generate recipes, meal plans, and even grocery lists with ease. On TikTok, one hack went viral when user Mellyssa Viele posted a video demonstrating how she used the AI chatbot to create a wholesome seven-day meal plan specially tailored to her endometriosis and related hormone issues.
ChatGPT managed to understand and fulfill Viele’s requests within a short time frame. It complied to her diet specifications of eating under 1700 calories, as well as adhering to her liking and avoiding certain items like tuna. Moreover, the chatbot also produced a grocery list to help Viele quickly obtain the items for the week. Needless to say, Viele was quite surprised with the output of the AI.
The potential for ChatGPT in the healthcare domain is immense. As the tech expert Mike Pell from The Microsoft Garage notes, this life hack is great example of just how valuable ChatGPT has become for everyday uses. Furthermore, as the AI system continues to learn from these early interactions, its potential for improvement is undeniably huge.
Even though ChatGPT can be used as a helpful tool to aid users in getting healthier meal plans, Dr. Nicole Saphier, Fox News medical contributor and radiologist, cautions people to use their own discretion and judgment when utilizing such technology. Ultimately, people should also converse and consult with a licensed nutritionist or their physician to determine the best foods for their health. Additionally, Dr. Saphier also mentions the potential bias of ChatGPT and other AI systems, as the companies or foods that pay for more advertisements are usually favored in the algorithms.
ChatGPT is paving the way for a new wave of healthcare hacks. With proof of its effectiveness readily shown, the AI chatbot has certainly made the jump from a science fiction fantasy to a reality. With hope, it may even help revolutionize the patient experience.
