The article never comes right out and says that 'Eating Disorder' means fat but people were complaining about the AI giving them weight loss advice.

Too bad we didn't get to have fun with the bot. But wait...

On Monday, an activist named Sharon Maxwell posted on Instagram, sharing a review of her experience with Tessa. She said that Tessa encouraged intentional weight loss, recommending that Maxwell lose 1-2 pounds per week. Tessa also told her to count her calories, work towards a 500-1000 calorie deficit per day, measure and weigh herself weekly, and restrict her diet. “Every single thing Tessa suggested were things that led to the development of my eating disorder,” Maxwell wrote. “This robot causes harm.”

So it was just giving rational advice, and this is a problem? I guess the humans that will replace the bot will coddle the fatties like they want.
