Why AI and how does it make sense?

Medicine

Herbs or Pills

Erased! Ep. 2 - They Tried to Destroy Me - Dr. Pierre Kory Breaks His Silence

AI is only as good as the input.  I am a physician. My first query to Open Evidence, a prominent medical AI, was the following: “causes of hyponatremia.”    OE left out adrenal insufficiency.   So now I only use OE as one tool.   I find it best to acquire minimum of 2 sources to corroborate a health plan.  I have always welcomed 2nd opinions.

I don't want to prolong my time on earth any longer than necessary.  I want it to be over. The longer I live, the worse I get. The more I hurt people, the less likely I reach salvation. I can't even contribute anything positive to your post. I'm sorry.

I agree with your level of thinking.  Let me build on that. If we feed our own query with facts and different pathways of possible side effects from the medication a human is taking, then it would be more clear of what is eroding the problem. If we find the problem to the issue, then it is easier for a physician like you to make a health plan. I am not familiar with Open Evidence, but I would only assume that the information feeding it is probably only mainstream data. I could be wrong but for example an AI model/agent won't tell you that Ivermectin or Febendazole is a possible drug for a specific cancer.  Of course they won't due to lack of evidence, but also this could hinder Big Pharma's piggy bank. A better example of AI is telling you after possibly feeding it your meds and labs: A b12 deficiency is occurring due to the human taking Metformin.

I understand your way of thinking.  But perhaps think of the future generations after us? The world doesn't end when we die. I am sure you can contribute to this and I don't even know you. Just ask yourself: What am I good at?

The fact that most of what they prescribe these days is a symptom reducer and not a cure speaks volumes.
