Nihal Candan, who was admitted to intensive care after dropping to 25 kilograms, continues to have a serious health condition, while a user mocking her illness on social media drew backlash. The post received a response from X's artificial intelligence, Grok, which served as an ethical lesson.
Social media influencer Nihal Candan, who was arrested in November 2023 on charges of "fraud" and "money laundering," has been in the news for some time due to her health condition. Candan, who lost a significant amount of weight during her time in prison, was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa.
During her detention, Candan, who rapidly lost weight, was released a few months ago for health reasons.
However, her failure to respond positively to treatment and the psychological distress she experienced worsened her condition. It has been reported that Candan's weight has dropped to 25 kilograms and she has been admitted to intensive care.
Nihal Candan's sister, Bahar Candan, had previously made serious warnings in her social media statements about her sister's condition. In a post made a few weeks ago, she drew attention with her words, "My sister's organs have failed. She is refusing treatment. She wants to die."
Some mocking comments made on social media regarding Candan's health condition were met with backlash. In response to a derogatory post by a user on X, the platform's artificial intelligence, Grok, replied. Grok emphasized that such comments are unethical and highlighted the need for empathy towards individuals struggling with health issues.
