In a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults published in January,
a third said they had
used ChatGPT or another artificial intelligence tool to create a nutrition or weight-loss plan.
That’s not surprising: Eating well is hard. It sometimes feels like you need a Ph.D. in nutrition — and more time than you have — to make sure you meet your healthy eating goals. Coming up with balanced meal ideas, creating weekly plans and assembling shopping lists can all be overwhelming. And if you develop a health condition that requires changes to your diet, it can be daunting to know where to start.
As a nutrition reporter at The New York Times, I’m curious to know how people are using artificial intelligence to help with these challenges. Are you turning to A.I. chatbots for advice about how to eat? What nutrition-related questions are you asking, and what tasks are you giving them? Have you found that a chatbot has helped you to eat more healthfully, or has it led you astray?
We’ll read every submission and may reach out to you for more information. We may include your experience in a future article, but only after we’ve contacted you and heard back. And we won’t share your contact information outside of the newsroom or use it for any reason other than to get in touch with you.
