I turned to AI when my doctor couldn’t fix my back pain. It actually helped
TL;DR
Millions of people are asking chatbots for health advice. Doctors say they can be useful, as long as you understand the tech’s limits. Millions of people are asking chatbots for health advice. Doctors say they can be useful, as long as you understand the tech’s limits.
Nauti's Take
The practical gain is real: a chatbot can sort symptoms, translate findings and prepare sharper questions, which makes a ten minute appointment worth far more. The risk is equally concrete, because models tend to confirm whatever theory you walk in with, and they see neither your imaging nor your history.
Use it for preparation and translation, and treat it as a serious problem the moment it replaces an actual workup.
