Be Cautious Using AI instead of a Doctor
Be Cautious Using AI instead of a Doctor
Medical experts warn that relying on AI for self-diagnosis is dangerous, as the technology is prone to errors and hallucinations that can lead to missed or incorrect medical treatments.
Dr. Hill says he uses AI at times to help with work, but he says it is also prone to making errors and hallucinations when providing answers to questions. This can lead to people doing the wrong thing or ignoring what could be a severe medical issue if untreated or treated in the wrong manner if it is misdiagnosed.
The recommendation is always to contact your primary care doctor, urgent care, or even the emergency room if you have questions about certain symptoms or medications.
