Abstract
Obesity has become a serious global health problem. For some patients who cannot be treated with traditional methods, artificial intelligence technologies are a new source of hope. Chat GPT is a language model that has become popular in recent times and has many applications in natural language processing. This article focuses on the potential use of Chat GPT in obesity treatment. Chat GPT can provide personalized recommendations on topics, such as nutrition plans, exercise programs, and psychological support. In this way, a personalized treatment plan can be created based on the individual needs of patients and a more effective approach to obesity treatment can be achieved. However, some ethical and security concerns should also be considered regarding the use of this technology. In conclusion, the potential of Chat GPT in obesity treatment is promising, and with the effective use of this technology, better results can be achieved in obesity treatment.
