My wife has scheduled a visit with a physician and there was a younger person in there. They legit said “haha I don’t know what it is” and used ChatGPT for diagnosis.

I have no doubt they would have no problem outsourcing everything to agents.



Did they reach a good diagnosis by using tools to provide themselves additional information to process?

Or did they make a fatally wrong diagnosis that was only discovered because the old doctor whipped out their medical encyclopedias? You left us hanging without the relevant part of the story!

You’re assuming you can get access to a qualified doctor in Europe, which isn’t always the case.

It was the same diagnosis my wife got from ChatGPT two weeks prior.

I think 90% of health issues are just hand-waved.


That's some Idiocracy level bullshit.
