[Comment] Targeted advertising in generative artificial inte📱 Electronics

AI chatbots may pose health risks through targeted advertising, experts warn

OpenAI plans to add targeted ads to free and low-cost versions of ChatGPT, which raises public health concerns about how ads influence health decisions made through AI chatbots. While the company promises safeguards like keeping ads away from health topics and blocking users under 18, experts worry that targeted advertising in health-related chatbots could mislead people seeking medical information. This matters because millions already use ChatGPT for health questions, and personalized ads could push products or treatments based on your data rather than what's actually best for you.

Continuous glucose monitors have significant limitations in tracking blood sugar

Continuous glucose monitors, popular wearable devices that track blood sugar levels, have blind spots that users should understand. These devices can't capture the full picture of how your body responds to food, stress, and exercise because they only measure one aspect of metabolic health. If you rely on them for health decisions, you're missing important information about your overall glucose control.
