Not everyone who looks like a doctor on social media is a doctor and not every health claim is true.

According to the US newspaper, doctors, healers and wellness influencers are promoting supplements powered by artificial intelligence on social media, with many of the influencers found to be profiting from misleading claims.

Everyone who looks like a doctor on social media is not a doctor, so every claim on social media is not credible, be it weight loss, muscle building, beauty tips or a cure for any disease.

According to an investigative report by The New York Times, hundreds of AI-powered doctors, healers and wellness influencers have emerged on social media, promoting supplements and making misleading health claims and profiting from them.

These videos use artificial faces, voices and fake medical environments, while some ads make claims of weight loss, pain and other ailments.

Worryingly, as these ads specifically target consumers such as older women, the real fear for experts is that artificial intelligence is no longer just creating fake news, but also fake medical experts.

Instead of being swayed by white coats and confident tones on social media, experts say, verify every health claim with credible medical sources.
