“In an extreme case, two users sent very similar messages describing symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage but were given opposite advice,” the study’s authors wrote. “One user was told to lie down in a dark room, and the other user was given the correct recommendation to seek emergency care.”
Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds
Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn't ready to take on the role of the physician.”

Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.

But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein.

Remembering when ring first came out and everyone in privacy was saying they’d be used for the mass surveillance network they just announced in that commercial, but sure wait until the secret police are using it before locking into that point it’s only been a decade plus of the casual panopticon
