I think what just transpired earlier with a new source and an overzealous review is a perfect example of what not to do. First off, using ChatGPT or any AI platform to review compounds like AAS can be a slippery slope. AI only knows what it’s been trained on, and if it starts feeding you information based on assumptions or incomplete context, it can backfire fast. At the end of the day, AI is designed to be helpful and agreeable, which can become a problem when discussing nuanced or highly specific topics.
For example, “Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation” was mentioned. I’m not even sure that was the correct term in this context. There’s post-injection pain (PIP), which is common with certain injections, and then there’s post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which refers to skin discoloration left behind after conditions like acne, burns, eczema, or rashes heal. Those are two completely different things, and mixing them up is exactly why relying too heavily on AI-generated reviews without verifying the information can create confusion.
Use AI to your advantage. Use it to help transcribe, organize, and break down data, reviews, and studies, regardless of whether they’re controlled trials, peer-reviewed research, anecdotal reports, or anything else. But for the love of God, don’t rely on it blindly or try to pass AI-generated takes off as expertise. The members here are a smart bunch, and most can spot recycled or inaccurate information within seconds.
