I asked a different AI, who seems to be a bit more sciencey and not so
chatty. He even gives references for his statements.
Though his reply seems to amount to much the same conclusions.
Just a bit more techie-like language.

Answer
Caloric restriction has been shown to extend lifespan in laboratory
animals such as rats, worms, and mice by reducing inflammation and
slowing down the aging process in the cellular pathways [3]. However,
the results of caloric restriction studies on humans are still
unclear, and the specific mechanisms by which caloric restriction
works are still under investigation [1]. Some studies suggest that
moderate caloric restriction may be beneficial for human health, but
more research is needed to determine the potential benefits and risks
of caloric restriction for humans [2]. Additionally, the benefits of
caloric restriction may depend on the specific type of food consumed,
as lower calories from whole foods and such meant a longer healthier
life compared to lower calories all from meat [0].
Overall, while caloric restriction may hold promise for extending lifespan,
more research is necessary to fully understand its potential benefits and
risks for humans.
