Chubbyemu
Chubbyemu presents a case study of a man who followed AI health advice, replaced salt with sodium bromide and developed bromism with severe neurological effects. It is told as a dramatized medical case by a doctor.
Used in AI threads as a cautionary example of harm from LLM self-diagnosis, though some commenters cite it as part of broader criticism of AI.
