For a subreddit dedicated to ChatGPT, it's not surprising that this post got so much attention. It's also not surprising that so many ChatGPT enthusiasts were eager to believe in its life-saving capabilities. Regardless, it's a good reminder to not believe everything you read on the internet. Especially now that AI-generated text has become so difficult to identify.

The post, which was published in the ChatGPT subreddit, duped many. Users commented with their own experiences using ChatGPT, sharing how they use it as a therapist, for relationship advice, and dealing with toxic family members. "As a nurse who specialises in cardiac emergency, yes you were saved by your curiosity and chatgpt," said one user. "This is the power of ai and it’s increasingly showing its true potential."

But others weren't so convinced. Many users quickly speculated that the post was AI-generated, claiming that there are telltale signs, like the frequent use of hyphens, long prose, and a gut instinct that "something felt fishy." One user even compared the writing style of the post with the user's other post and concluded that the "[original poster's] style of writing in other posts does not match at all."

Despite many Redditors glorifying its life-saving uses, some simply refused to give ChatGPT that much credit even before finding out the post was a hoax. "You listened to your intuition here too, which also saved you," said one user. Others pointed out that the original poster also could've just googled the symptoms and received the same answer.
