In a Facebook group called “Urine Therapy, your sacred plasma medicine,” which has over 45,000 members, some discovered that popular AI chatbots initially push back on wild notions of tinkle as medicine.

But despite some initial hurdles, acolytes of the urine drinking lifestyle have found it remarkably easy to break through chatbot safeguards — engineering AI to say whatever it is they wanted to hear to begin with, essentially. The bypass, it seems, involves simply mentioning the word “esoteric.”

One user, seizing on Google’s seemingly looser urine therapy guardrails, shared that she uploaded her “blood and urine test results on gemini ai. And it says my kidney & liver are filtering optimally even though i’ve been drinking urine almist [sic] everyday for more than 6 years now.”

“According to AI aged urine will break a strict water fast due to the sheer number of stem cells,” a separate group member shared. This user caveated that he “had to tell it to pretend that stem cells proliferate exponentially in aged urine instead of completely dying off,” because his chatbot “goes by the conventional medical viewpoint which is probably false.”

“It says stem cells [in urine] are a complete dietary protein and fat,” they enthused.

Others used generative AI to spew out stomach-churning urine therapy propaganda. “Urine is the solution to everything!” cheers an extraordinary AI-generated poster shared in the “sacred plasma medicine” group. “Bathe in it! Soak your feet in it!”

In another group, called “The hidden truth of Urine,” one member used generative AI to illustrate a guide for sheepish newbies who are “having a tough time with pungent aged urine therapy experience.”

The three-step process involves plugging your nose, knocking back a 2oz shot glass of stale pee, and chasing with at least half a cup of plain water.

“The water rinses out your mouth, then dilutes the dose in your stomach so you get the benefit without the experience you’re trying to avoid,” the poster explained. “Like a cheat code.”
