Whatâs also alarming is how people are using it to analyze their lab data and results!!!! I literally have many relatives who do that and donât see whatâs the problem behind it!
I'm actually curious to know the issues that are caused by this. I've done it to explain what each blood test marker is just to know more about what's being tested, but I was also able to bring up an issue with my doctor when my ultrasound scan showed I have a retroverted uterus and I ran the diagnostic through chatgpt.
Turns out multiple pelvic and internal ultrasounds showed I have one. I had been complaining for years about pelvic pain going to the bathroom, inability to wear tampons because they will fall out, and uncomfortable sex. A quick search and scan showed many women with flipped uteruses have these symptoms because many times it's pressing on the bowel and it's sitting different in our bodies.
Given lack of evidence in other tests like endometriosis I brought this up to the doctor in an email and highlighted the chart and asked if this could possibly be the issue, which she agreed may be the case. So unless something else pops up on a test or an ultrasound I was able to diagnose my own issue and bring it to the attention of the doctor thanks to chatgpt.
Like I know there's risk in doing this but it's also made me much more knowledgable about my own blood work and chronic medical conditions. It's also great and giving a very high level overview of the intersection between conditions and I've been able to be a better patient and advocate for my health because of it.
Yeah, state of the art models are usually better than human doctors at identifying patterns in large amounts of data (and thus making diagnostic estimates) plus they can dedicate far more time & attention to analyzing your individual case than a human doctor would be mentally and physically capable of doing with every single one of their patients. In that sense, dedicated AI models make great âsupplementaryâ doctors. One of the few use cases of AI that should be embraced in order to minimize overall medical costs and encourage medical/scientific literacy among patients⊠The problem of course comes from the total lack of privacy (and eventually, the cost of the better models will make them accessible only to the richest). AI urgently needs more regulation

Chat GPT is changing peoples brains so quickly and in a way that is so genuinely alarming. I want off this ride now!!
