A few people have been asking about how I was using chatgpt the other day, so I thought i'd start a thread. We can put a collection of good prompts and interesting answers here.

Always keep in mind it can get things wrong. It is just another tool to help you, don't use it as gospel.
When you do your ARL or TEI test it should come with supplement recommendations. Upload your test to chatGPT and ask it for supplement advice, you can also tell it symptoms you have and it will try to work out what causes what. Always cross check its advice with the ARL or TEI supplement recommendations.
The free version is more likely to hallucinate and give you wrong answers, always check it has its inputs correct. For example, i uploaded a screenshot of my HTMA results and it said i had low magnesium of 12. It got the 12 correct, but 12 is high out of the ideal zone, not low, so it got that part wrong. I then corrected it, and it said that 12 is normal in TEI and that was its mistake, but in reality 12 is high in TEI as well.
Anyway, i kept correcting it, added some symptoms, and it ended up giving me pretty solid supplements (much less $$ than ARL), and in less intense doses so I think less could go wrong, but potentially it wouldn't move the needle as fast either. Keep in mind ARL has like 30 years of testing etc behind it, chatGPT is an amalgamation of various sources - don't use it unless you do your own research on its answers. Don't forget this thing has all the info of RDAs and general health recs as well. It also said things like i don't need copper or manganese as these are a bit high on mine, but that ARL have given them too me. Its probably a downfall of following ARL and TEI - they have pre-formulated supps, but ideally we'd be getting our own completely individual formulations each time.
You have to dance that tango with AI to get the best results. Keep iterating and cement one decision point before jumping to the next. I.e. ask what it should give you (only) and keep prompting it if it isn't correct. When it is, stop there - thats a decision point. Record the results. Then tell it what ARL recommended, and see what it responds. Another decision point. Then you could ask it what TEI would recommend. Another decision point. Treat these 'decision points' like a save point in a game. Then you could give it your symptoms, see what it responds. Another decision point. Then, if you want, you could say something like "I want to avoid vitamin A". It will change it. So good to know what it thought before vs what it thinks now - its easy to lose track of things in it, this is why i'm saying to have these decision points.
I prompted
EDIT: wasted too much time trying to copy paste into here, keep getting php errors on the browser console - seems the forum is too buggy.
It spat out general info on HTMA, what slows or fasts are generally recommended, important ratios to focus on and how to correct each individual ratio (without the context of an entire htma), then asked if i wanted to upload a PDF or JPG of my HTMA results for tailored supplements, and i did.
