I've been trying to use AI to support a narrative review. Has worked well in many aspects of the work. But it's screwed up royally in three ways:
1. Failed to suspect a study with 100% response rate and 100% agreement by >6000 participants to have a blood test. Saw this as a "quality feature".

Love all these imaginative advent calendars popping up. Here's one from the chemists.
Brussels sprouts and Finnish lanttulaatikko feature in day 5 of #ChemAdvent. Their chemical connection is glucosinolates, bitter compounds in sprouts and swedes.
Genetic variations in people affect the perception of this bitterness – so if you're not a sprouts fan, that could be why!
