Whether you have chosen to embrace AI or not, you cannot deny its power, advancement and, in so many cases, its usefulness. I know of friends who have used it to help them write cover letters for prospective jobs, those who've asked it to come up with mood boards for interior projects and, just yesterday, two people suggested that I should ask it to come up with a full itinerary for my upcoming trip to New York. Last month, one of our beauty contributors was bored with her existing fragrances and asked AI to recommend some perfumes that she might like. So, seemingly, we're also using it to help with our beauty queries, too, but how reliable is it?
I decided to put it to the test. Getting an appointment with a dermatologist in the UK is tricky to do, and often expensive, so I wanted to see whether something like ChatGPT could be an alternative way of seeking skincare advice. I asked it to help me out with some of my skincare woes and to recommend a thorough routine, including products, that would address my concerns, whilst also being respectful of skin type and desires. Much like a dermatologist would.
