A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

I can personally vouch for Raghad she lives in the same camp as I do.
Please, help her and her sick mother. Her mother’s condition is severe; she suffers from partial paralysis and can barely move inside the tents..

My family and I are living in tents now, and my mother is sick. You know that a sick person cannot tolerate living in a tent they need a clean environment. Unfortunately, we are not in a clean place. You know how hard life in tents is sleeping on sand, having insects inside.🥺💔

Since the beginning of the war, the town of Alkoma — under RSF control — has been bombed at least 150 times by the Sudanese military.

910 days in, civilians remain the primary victims (and often, targets) of this war.

No one cares about civilians.Today’s update is proof enough.

Today's quick update [Oct 11]:

- RSF drone strike on a shelter in Elfashir, North Darfur (red); at least 60 civilians reported killed, dozens injured.

- SAF drone strike on Alkoma, North Darfur (orange); at least 16 civilians reported killed.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Azza. Before this Azza worked in a kindergarten and her husband owned a small coffee shop. They lost their home in the first two weeks of the war. They are trying to survive with their children Nisreen, 16, Layan, 14 and Ibrahim, 11.

Related book recommendation for anyone interested:

It’s a good read that counters the idea that “a meaningful attachment to nature and the outdoors is contrary to the Black experience.”
