Some teenagers ask the computer for food and diet advice. They want to change their daily meals and their body. But expert scientists say this online information is very dangerous.
The chatbots often give the wrong advice to children. They tell teenagers to eat very little food every day. This is very bad for their body and health. Young people need good food to grow strong.
