What the author should have done, as soon as they saw the physician had not yet looked at the results, is to immediately go to a pharmacy and show them the results. I’m glad AI has been useful this time, but pharmacists are experts too (and would tell you if they are not sure of something, instead of confabulating).
- boole1854 2y agoAccording to the story, the ChatGPT conversation that led to the ER visit happened on a Sunday. In my part of the world, all local pharmacies are closed on Sundays, so going to a pharmacy and showing the results would not have been an option.
- Toutouxc 2y agoThat’s interesting, that wouldn’t occur to me at all. Is that a thing where you live? Going to the pharmacy to get diagnosed? (with something more complicated than a runny nose)
