ChatGPT from Open AI is one of the fastest-growing consumer apps in history and could help people with dietary restrictions and special health concerns create meal plans. The meal plan is based on the conversation users have with ChatGPT. It requires users to provide it some information such as height, weight, dietary restrictions, health goals and so on.
The AI chatbot is trained on data from a variety of sources such as Wikipedia, books, news articles and scientific journals. It follows the instruction from the prompt, answers the follow-up questions and provides detailed response. Jamie Askey, a nurse from Lufkin, Tex., has shown through her TikTok video how to use ChatGPT to generate grocery lists and meal plans that meet various health eating goals.
However, some health professionals warn people with chronic illness to be evaluated by a professional before using ChatGPT for meal planning. AI, is not a person, and so always double-check the meal plan before using it. Additionally, the training data of ChatGPT cuts off in 2021. This means the latest health and wellness guidelines and information might not be included by it. Furthermore, some people have also expressed concern about potential bias or glitches within the technology.
OpenAI, which runs ChatGPT, has said that it does not have plans to use chatbot interactions to build user profiles or advertise. They have given effort to minimizing the bias in AI systems and have also worked hard on privacy.
ChatGPT can be very helpful in creating meal plan and grocery list, however one has to be careful while using it. It’s better to have professional evaluation for health related matters. OpenAI has done some great works to minimize the bias in AI and to secure the user’s privacy.
