Core Tip	Artificial intelligence, various chatbots, and Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) usage have increased widely. Today, people also benefit from ChatGPT applications instead of health professional recommendations. While this creates a positive impact in terms of time and cost, it is also an easy way to find a solution in front of a screen, especially for individuals with psychiatric disorders, instead of going to the clinic. The positive effects of chatbots can be observed, especially when used in person-assisted ways. In addition, it may contribute to correcting negative body image perception, especially seen in younger age groups, and determining eating disorders. However, ChatGPT's answers do not always provide definitive results. It may lead to some confusion in determining the type of eating disorder. Some ethical principles must be followed when using it. These include contributing to society and human well-being and not causing harm.
