A content creator and singer said in an Instagram video in June 2026 that, during a flare-up of dermatitis brought on by stress and anxiety, they asked ChatGPT for a solution and it said a cream would help clear the dermatitis quickly. The influencer bought the cream at a pharmacy, applied it without consulting a doctor, and showed red, burned-looking skin on the forehead, cheekbones and nose, saying 'my face burned' and that they wanted to cry. The influencer said they had later realised the cream was dangerous for the face and stopped using it, and urged followers to consult health professionals. A day later the influencer reported slow improvement with professional help and a visit to a dermatologist, and later denied rumours of a lawsuit against ChatGPT. The cream, the exact ChatGPT answer and any medical assessment of the cause are not reported.

A Saudi social-media influencer said on her accounts, as relayed by 24.ae on 8 October 2025 and Layalina on 9 October 2025, that she asked ChatGPT how to remove black mould from a wall at home and that it advised disinfecting with vinegar and drying with a hair dryer, without mentioning the risk of handling the mould directly or the need for protective equipment. She and her daughter cleaned it without gloves or masks and dried it with a hair dryer, which she says spread particles that they inhaled. By her account, two days later her daughter had a fever and was taken to hospital, where a bacterial infection caused by polluted air was diagnosed; she later developed the same symptoms. An inspection then found cracks in the roof insulation letting water into the walls. She warned her followers not to trust ChatGPT on such matters. The account is hers; the outlets report no medical or other confirmation.

La Razón de México reported on 1 October 2026 that the Mexican fitness influencer Ana Fer Lemus said in a TikTok video that a group of men had created an online group devoted to discussing her body. According to the report, its members post captures of her gym videos and generate fake images of her with artificial intelligence, alongside explicit accounts of what they would do to her if they saw her in person. She said the photos in the group were not ones she had taken, that the situation causes her fear and repulsion, and that she no longer knows what to do. The platform hosting the group is not named and no complaint to authorities is reported.
