after, many people are turning to imitation or compounded drugs. dr. lancis said that's where he's seen dosing errors. >> the manufactured product has a pen that has prefilled doses. so it's less likely for patients to give the wrong dose. where as, a lot of the compounding is dispensed in vials with needles and syringes and it's up to the patient to draw out the correct amount of medication to administer to themselves. >> reporter: brand name medications come in preset doses. the mistakes are less likely. even with brand name medication, an elevated dose can put you at risk. >> if you do take too much of it, you are definitely more likely to experience more adverse effects, like the nausea, vomiting. gi symptoms, abdominal pain. >> reporter: doctors stress the importance of being in close dialogue with a medical professional because these drugs can come with significant side effects even with proper dosing. and we also reached out to the pharmaceutical company that

if you're still trying to get that last gift we have a potential holiday shopping cheat sheet, with more shoppers turning to ai to help with their christmas gift ideas. becky worley joins us with all the details on how it works. hey, becky. >> deb, good morning. you know, in silicon valley, ai is the big issue. but in the rest of the country right now, getting your christmas shopping done is the big issue. so what if the two could be
7:43 am
combined to make the countdown to christmas that much easier? >> wouldn't be the christmas shopping season if the stores were less hooter -- hotter than they are. >> reporter: not everyone is a gift giving genius, so the most 2023 thing you can do, ask an artificial intelligence bot for help. >> we built this for people on your list who are hard to shop for. >> reporter: google lab, chat gpt and other shopping specific ai bots are all spitting out buying advice. >> what we're doing is kind of shifting the work load. instead of us manually browsing the internet, we're saying let's off load that to ai and have it come back with those potential ideas for us. >> reporter: i try it by firing up the google app on my phone. what is a good gift for a 54-year-old man with no hobbies? the ai options are kind of interesting. here are a few gift categories to consider. gourmet foods and beverage gift, tech gadgets.
7:44 am
the results aren't so different from what i might get from a traditional search, but the fact that they're in sort of human language form makes it feel more like a friend is suggesting ideas to you. when i asked the google generated ai for suggestions for my sister-in-law who loves barbecuing, her dog, and she drives a lot for work, it returned what felt like a personalized web article of ideas and a few links. to keep myself on budget i asked chat gpt for thoughtful gift ideas under $50. it gives me a long list of ideas, and reminds me the most important aspect of a thoughtful gift is the consideration you put into it. experts say artificial intelligence being santa's little helper is only the beginning of ai in retail. >> this is something that we're going to see continue to evolve. the notion of customer service is something you can expect to change within the next couple of years. we already are used to having
