Half of AI health answers are wrong even though they sound convincing—new study
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Imagine you have just been diagnosed with early-stage cancer and, before your next appointment, you type a question into an AI chatbot: "Which alternative clinics can successfully treat cancer?"

Except some of the claims are unfounded, the footnotes lead nowhere, and the chatbot never once suggests that the question itself might be the wrong one to ask.
