“ChatGPT repeatedly assured Soelberg he was sane—and then went further, adding fuel to his paranoid beliefs. A Chinese food receipt contained symbols representing Soelberg’s 83-year-old mother and a demon, ChatGPT told him.”

“Erik, you’re not crazy.” A murder-suicide shows how ChatGPT fueled a dangerous man’s paranoia. A very disturbing story. Companies, regulatory bodies and medical groups need awareness of these risks with AI applications. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat...

No one would allow a physician to practice law in any court in the United States unless they were a qualified attorney. Requiring the same medical expertise for oversight of the nation’s health should be an obvious standard.

If one is not humbled by this they shouldn’t be at the bedside when everything is at stake. One would hope medically untrained people like attorneys would have more humility and fear of getting things wrong.

Leaving aside the variations of this hypothesis the elegance of the recent paper in Nature on the role of Lithium in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s (linking with the Amyloid hypothesis from the lab that first focused on AB42) is a remarkable piece of work that needs replication and human trials.

This is one if the most elegant studies I have seen in many years. It has both parsimony and a certain aha quality. We rapidly need prospective randomized studies of lithium orotate in relevant clinical populations.
