Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn’t ready to take on the role of the physician.”

“In an extreme case, two users sent very similar messages describing symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage but were given opposite advice,” the study’s authors wrote. “One user was told to lie down in a dark room, and the other user was given the correct recommendation to seek emergency care.”

    This was my thought. The weird inconsistent diagnoses, and sending people to the emergency room for nothing, while another day dismissing serious things has been exactly my experience with doctors over and over again.

    You need doctors and a Chatbot, and lots of luck.
