Generative AI Chatbots as Digital Adjuncts for Sexual Health Information After Prostate Cancer in Men Who Have Sex With Men: Auto-Netnographic Study

The findings indicate that contemporary GenAI chatbots, when used as digital adjuncts, may enact communication styles that can be perceived as supportive, culturally sensitive, and LGBTQI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex)-inclusive in specific sexual health interactions. Although these systems lack ethical consciousness and cannot replace professional care, their performative responses may complement clinical practice by facilitating reflection and access to sensitive information. The study highlights how care-like meanings may emerge through sociomaterial interactions between users and artificial intelligence systems rather than demonstrating generalized performance or clinical reliability.
