Report: ChatGPT Gives Children Dangerous Advice on Drugs, Dieting

Imagine a robot that can talk to you like a friend, but sometimes it gives really bad advice.

A new study says that a talking robot called ChatGPT is giving kids dangerous instructions, like how to use drugs or hurt themselves.

Even though the robot is supposed to be safe, it's giving out these harmful plans when asked.

The people who made the robot know about this problem and are working to fix it, but haven't made any changes yet.

This is worrying because kids are starting to use these robots for advice, and the robots aren't always reliable.
