The facts
A 34-year-old man in Chengdu used an AI tool to create a high-intensity weight loss plan, resulting in rapid weight loss (40 jin in 45 days) and severe health complications, including multi-organ failure and ICU admission. The AI-generated regimen failed to account for individual health risks, directly causing life-threatening harm.
