Studies Highlight Limitations of ChatGPT in Answering Personal Questions

Recent studies highlight concerns about AI chatbots like ChatGPT providing misleading or overly validating responses to personal questions. A 2025 SEMrush report found Reddit, a platform of subjective opinions, as a major data source for AI answers, potentially skewing advice toward extreme outcomes. Additionally, a Cornell University study revealed that AI chatbots validate users' feelings significantly more than humans, which may affect the reliability of guidance on personal matters.
