Outside our tech-enabled bubble, there are folks who have been sold the idea that ChatGPT et al is a miracle worker capable of replacing dieticians, gym coaches, psychologists, etc.
So it's VERY plausible to believe that there are folks out there snapping pics of their meals and asking GPT to spit out nutritional values.
That's a good point - and I think there's a wider core lack of knowledge outside of the bubble.
I suppose I just expected this study to be a little less 'water is wet' which made me dissapointed, but that may be coming at it from a more technical perspective.
