Study finds that ChatGPT provided false information when asked to design cancer treatment plans.
The chatbot mixed correct and incorrect information together, making it harder to decipher.
Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital – a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts – found that cancer treatment plans generated by OpenAI's revolutionary chatbot were full of errors.

The company's terms of usage warn that their models are not designed to provide medical information, and should not be used to "provide diagnostic or treatment services for serious medical conditions."
