AI is a classic example of GIGO -- garbage in, garbage out. After all, it's just a machine that scrapes the available data.

A new study published yesterday provided a sobering look at whether A.I. chatbots are actually good at providing medical advice to the general public.
Researchers found that the chatbots were no better than Google at guiding users toward the correct diagnoses or helping them figure out what to do next. The technology also posed unique risks, sometimes presenting false information or dramatically changing its advice depending on slight changes in the wording of the questions.
None of the models evaluated were “ready for deployment in direct patient care,” the researchers concluded in the first randomized study of its kind.

Seems to be a mistake almost everywhere.
Who is listening? Certainly not money.
Ready or not here it comes.
Me: “ AI Doc… I need treatment for …”
AI Doc: “ Sorry Dave, I can’t do that.”
Me: “Who’s Dave?”
After all, Republicans and corporate America has billions of dollars to make. Who care if tens of thousands of Americans die or get injured by medical AI.
