You don't even have to look that far ahead. Apparently, people are already using ChatGPT to compile custom diet plans for themselves, and they expect it to take into account the information they supply regarding their allergies etc.

Yes, that's the risk, and people are literally doing that because "if it put them in the recipe, it knows that quantity is safe for me", or "I asked it if it's okay and it cited a study saying that it is".
