  Not even, ChatGPT, being an engine that figures out what's right by finding out what is average, is bad at understanding the atypical.

    >is bad at understanding the atypical. To be fair I've found most doctors require a lot of convincing if your problem atypical as well.

      As they should. If you hear hooves, think horses not unicorns.

        If you google around there's tons of stories of people with legitimate novel illnesses that are ignored or misdiagnosed for years.

          Which sucks, but can you imagine the additional burden our health care system would be under if they had to test for every possible thing a condition could be every time you went in? I wonder what all the edge cases of something presenting like a headache could be.

        Zebras, deer, moose, and giraffe, bulls of many types, all exist. I'd say if you hear hoofbeats, contemplate what hooved animal would be appropriate to the situation and try to eliminate the easy ones. Lord knows, you might find a Zebra escaped from the zoo, or a bull from someone's field from time to time. In short, life is messy, and taking any aphorism to the death will lead to just that.
