ChatGPT is a fun tool to play around with while waiting for GPT-4 to be released, and I'm not saying OP does this, but please don't blindly take medical advice from a chatbot. AI will surpass today's expert medical advice in the future, but not yet, not without AGI.

I heard about a case where a chatbot was able to help accurately diagnose a medical condition that doctors weren't able to for many years, but that shouldn't be expected to be the typical result, so if you do ask a chatbot for medical advice, ask your doctor about it, but please don't just assume the chatbot is definitely correct, because it probably isn't.

Yup. This AI doesn't have any special knowledge. It got this information from other sources, and you don't know where.

I have used chatgtp to help diagnose a problem I have and it was insanely helpful. I'm obviously talking to health professionals but instead of asking them a bunch of simple questions I can ask to my heart's content to gtp.

Can't wait for the next version

That's the smart way of going about it. I'm happy to hear AI helped improve your health.

I wonder whether it'll be proto-AGI or actual AGI that will accelerate the advent of nanomedicine to cure all health problems; I see it going either way, but we'll know soon.

Interesting thoughts. I like the idea of nano medicine.

My 2 cents

The first stage will be using existing sensors to gather and process the information properly. This will be taking all your blood tests, scans, diet, symptoms to create personalized recommendations, mostly proactive.ideally also input your entire genome to help predict issues.

Then we will have new devices that AI helped created. I'm guessing mostly sensors to monitor your body and perhaps customized nutrion/probiotics. Basically just accelerating to market things that are already in the works.

Then we get into the real interesting stuff. Once AI has ramped up properly and can integrate itself into the manufacturing, then you get BMIs that can let you workoit harder, control your emotions better, treat a variety of mental illnesses, etc, customized mRNA for anti aging, enhanced physical and mental abilities, customized hormone production, etc. Far more detailed monitoring that can likely react with dosing of hormones. And likely automated hospital stations that can do detailed scanning and treat anything from a cavity or minor bruise to surgery.

All automated at the cost of materials that were created by robots in the first place. Imagine an AI picked up on some detail, recommended you get a scan, find a cancerous little group of cells, get a customized mRNA shot, and the cancer is gone.

Vs traditional medicine now which will look like the dark ages...!

What was chatgpt able to diagnose?

Talkat t1_j2whs1i wrote

Pretty much.

Like I asked it "based on these blood test results, what are possible explanations". Then I zoomed in on two of the 8 answers for more detail. I eliminated one of them then asked it to explain in more detail the primary cause and the symtoms and stuff.

Then got it to explain all the other factors in detail.

It was cool because if Id like to ask my doctor all these questions but can't really do so in a 15 minute appointment (nor would it be worth the $$ to book a longer one).

Anyways, super helpful and highly recommended

What and how did you diagnose? Just curious

We might se a specialized medical AI before an actual AGI though.
