Artificial intelligence (AI) defines technologies that imitate and improve human intelligence using machines, Chat GPT is a conversational agent capable of enabling an Internet user to chat instantly with a system based on artificial intelligence. Chat GPT excels in various fields, notably healthcare, providing medical information, describing complex terms, and giving provisional diagnoses, however the integration of ChatGPT in medicine presents limitations, such as the reliability of the information provided, as well as remaining limited in its ability to reason in complex ways. In medicine, it is crucial to combine data analysis with clinical considerations, a critical reflection that AI cannot replace.We present the case of a patient who has had an anal mass for several years. The patient consulted ChatGPT for searching possible causes, the first aetiology mentioned being haemorrhoids, and among the proposed therapeutic options elastic ligation was cited. The patient attempted to perform this ligation independently using a thread, and he went to the emergency room due to the appearance of intense acute proctalgia ,The thread was removed with difficulty by the doctor, and symptomatic medical treatment was administered, the proctological examination that followed suggested an anal condyloma, which was confirmed by the anatomopathological results of the biopsy, and the patient was then referred for electrocoagulation of the condyloma.
