Maybe the patient lied about that, but it doesn't seem out of the realms of possibility to me.
of course it's not impossible, it's not even particularly unlikely, but, if we're going to use a sample size of 1 like this, then surely we want something a bit more concrete than the unevidenced claim of a patient recently psychotic?
more broadly though, this isn't so much a chatgpt issue as it is an educational dietary issue. the patient seems to have got a funny idea about the health effects of salt, likely from traditional or social media, and then he's tried to find an alternative. whether the alternative was from ChatGPT, or Wikipedia, or other, doesn't seem very relevant to me
