All I want is for a doctor to answer my question in a form I can understand. I nice personality is a plus, but not necessary. If they want to talk too fast and move on, I still manage to get all the time I need. I will not be brushed aside.

Easy to believe given more and more physicians are less doctors and more indoctrinated. After trying for more than three months to solve a medical problem I was having, ChatGPT had it resolved in about a half-hour. Shoot, the thing even helped me balance out my supplements in about fifteen minutes.

Perhaps the best part was that way it held its end of the conversation. Friendly, almost, not aloof, egotistical, or dismissive, all traits that newer doctors seem to master early on.

The panel of health care professional evaluators preferred ChatGPT responses to physician responses 79% of the time.


Read that and think.

evaluators preferred. That we have them is wrong. The market place should speak.

what is the basis of preferring? They didn’t offend me?

It was basically just a test of the tech. There’s no official panel of evaluators, just some medicos they picked to read Reddit posts. lol Here’s the article the posted article used as a source: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2804309

I think that ChatGPT could be very useful in helping people treat conditions at home, assuming they use it.

We know how often people use computers to self-treat, as opposed to just showing up in emergency, don’t we?

I do believe AI might do better than a human because it will have a database of symptoms for all kinds of diseases, even rare ones. I doubt a doctor can know it all, that is why there are specialists.

Are you serious?
How would regular people get access to a medical ChatGPT if they wanted to try it out?

Would ChatGBT recommend Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine and zinc and vitamin D and povidone iodine nasal spray for Covid-19 symptoms or tell you to just wait until you get sicker and then go to the hospital?

Yes, AI had a superior soothing voice, excellent eye contact, gave a reassuring Pat on the shoulder and then prayed with patient.

No wonder when you visit the Dr. they sit behind their computers entering data as you tell them your symptoms.

And when it gives out bad advice it can’t be sued.

I will believe it when ChatGPT tells us that the Covid vaccines were unsafe and ineffective.

YES, so far! It has shared key kidney health related strategies without once pimping "dialysis" - unlike my (fired) renal doctor. (OH, and as a side note, UCHealth transplant called and said it will allow my Covid vax protest! Back on the list!)

“A program written by libtards, I’ll pass”

Exactly. This AI stuff can well be written by commie progressives. The next iteration of it can be programmed to eliminate whatever class of “patients” our overlords tell it to eliminate. Take the prescription it sends to the pharmacy and you are on the sleeping road to eternity.

If a living physician were to do that, they have to worry about the patient’s relatives.
