“Ingestion of bromide can lead to a toxidrome known as bromism. While this condition is less common than it was in the early 20th century, it remains important to describe the associated symptoms and risks, because bromide-containing substances have become more readily available on the internet. We present an interesting case of a patient who developed bromism after consulting the artificial intelligence–based conversational large language model, ChatGPT, for health information,” says the abstract to a case study about a 60 year-old man who consulted the AI bout for advice on cutting sodium from his diet, ending up with bromism and horrible hallucinations.
It’s a chilling development for Joe Rogan, Robert F Kennedy Jr, and other health “experts” whose jobs telling people to ingest hazardous substances can be performed just as easily by an AI.
