I don't see the problem with the answer, and the question is already garbage. Plus, the LLM hedges its advice with precautions.

I get a pretty good summary when I paste the question into Google. It comes up with a ballpark but also gives precautions and info on how to estimate what caloric restriction makes sense for you within the first 3 sentences.

And all in a format someone is likely to read instead of clicking on some verbose search result that only answers the question if they read a whole article which they aren't going to do.

This seems like really lame nit picking. And I don't think it passes the "compared to what?" test.



The basic problem is it says reduce "by 1,500 - 1,800" rather than "to 1,500 - 1,800" (not that that answer is much better). Yes, it's a garbage question, but the first answer is unsafe in all circumstances. The simplest solution here is to show nothing.


The question is garbage. But people will ask it with their best intentions and not know it’s garbage.
