I swear they chose 'The Guardian' as a name to mock all of the people they routinely try to get killed

This was about 2 years ago, but I remember playing with a provider AI that would diagnose and recommend treatments. Of course I messed with it. "Patient with his face super glued to piano keys" AI - Consider sleep apnea "A severed head thrown through a window" AI - Consider traumatic brain injury

AI can be a useful TOOL for *real* doctors to use. It seems "The Guardian" is also a useful tool for Open AI to use.

Because webMD and google only tell people its cancer most of the time. AI doctors could bring up old diseases and/or old names to further confuse everyone?

I'll just leave this here about how the Texas AI centers drain more water than what is in the system, so the locals are told to measure out their water...

Not actually true, by the way. And so-called "mustard gas" isn't a gas, it's an oily liquid. This silly myth keeps circulating for some reason.
