title = "A Preliminary Analysis of AI Chatbots for Individualized Nutrition Advice",
abstract = "The rapid development of AI chatbots receives increasing recognition in different applications. Nutrition is an important topic because the general public values health. A lot of general nutrition advice can be found on the Internet. However, many people or patients desire individualized nutrition advice from dietitians. Given the availability of various free or low-cost AI chatbots, attention is drawn to individualized nutrition advice using AI chatbots. This research studied three common AI chatbots: ChatGPT-3.5, YouChat, and Microsoft Bing. The results of selected prompts are investigated and compared. Comments from dietitians on the limitations of AI chatbots are also shared. Further research is needed to investigate the design of prompts, i.e., asking appropriate questions with a good level of detail to the AI chatbots and having follow-up conversations to obtain better individualized nutrition advice.",
