Have You Regretted an AI Chatbot’s Advice? Tell Us

Increasing reliance on AI chatbots for personal and social advice has prompted concern among researchers and some AI firms about potential over-dependence.

Users are turning to these tools for guidance on significant life decisions, ranging from career moves to relationship advice.

The Guardian is seeking firsthand accounts from individuals who followed an AI chatbot’s recommendation and later regretted the outcome.

Those willing to share their experiences are invited to submit details through an online form.

Submissions should include as much specific information as possible to provide a clear picture of the decision-making process.

File attachments, such as screenshots or documents, are accepted up to a maximum size of 5.7 MB.

Contact information is requested to allow follow-up by Guardian journalists; it will be kept confidential and used only for verification.

Contributors are reminded to obtain permission before mentioning any other identifiable individuals in their stories.

Assistance with the form and access to terms of service and privacy policy are available via provided links.

The inquiry aims to understand the real-world consequences of delegating critical choices to artificial intelligence.
