Using ChatGPT as a resource??!
Hiii everyone! I just started my first esthetician job about a month or two ago. It has honestly not been the easiest thing in the world. I am looking to my boss as a mentor of sorts, but she is a complicated person, so I don't always feel the support I wish I had. I know that is normal for this industry, so it is what it is.
Sometimes I will have a client ask me a question about laser hair removal that I'm not quite sure about, and I have humility, so I am completely fine saying, "I'm not quite sure, let me ask my boss so I can make sure I am giving you accurate information." Well, yesterday when I was asking her about a question I got (the question was, "Is it normal to get ingrowns after laser hair removal"), she told me that if I am ever in a treatment room and don't know a question to surreptitiously ask ChatGPT. I feel like this isn't appropriate?? In general, I don't love AI, but using it as a resource without being transparent with your client seems wrong?
After she said this, we had a client come in who had a unique medical history. I think she went on ChatGPT to ask if she could still do a laser on her because she seemed unsure. Suddenly, she went on her phone and seemed confident that it was okay. Of course, it was my client, so I felt awkward because I am now doing this client, unsure if it's 100% okay or not, because we are taking AI's word on it. Is this normal?? Let me know what you guys think and if I am being dramatic.
