I’m a makeup artist who asked ChatGPT to recommend products for me. The results seemed promising at first, but the cons kept adding up.

• I’m a makeup artist who asked ChatGPT to recommend drugstore beauty products to match my complexion.
• The AI chatbot gave me recommendations for products from brands like Maybelline, CoverGirl, and Nyx.
