My friend came over yesterday to dye her hair. She had asked ChatGPT for the 'correct' way to do it. Chat told her to dye the ends first, wait about 20 minutes, and then do the roots.
Because of my own experience with dyeing my hair, that made me sceptical, so I read the instructions in the box dye package. It specifically said to mix it and apply everything all at once. That's how this particular formula is designed to work.
I read the instructions on the package out loud and told her we should just follow what the manufacturer says. She got visibly stressed and told me that 'ChatGPT said to do it differently'.
I pointed out that the company who made the dye probably knows how their own product is supposed to be applied. She still got visibly anxious about going against what ChatGPT told her to do.
It was such a weird moment. She was genuinely stressed about ignoring the AI even though the real instructions were right there in her hands.
Has anybody had similar experiences?
