Using AI for medical diagnoses is a recipe for disaster. It lacks the nuance of a real doctor and often hallucinates symptoms, leading users down a terrifying rabbit hole of anxiety. A chatbot doesn't know your medical history, it can't feel your pulse, and it definitely shouldn't be giving out health advice.
We're seeing people spiral into "cyberchondria" because they trust an algorithm over a professional. While the speed is tempting, the misinformation risk is too high. You might start with a headache and end up convinced you have a rare brain parasite because the AI prioritized patterns over clinical accuracy.
We need to stop treating these tools like medical experts before someone gets seriously hurt by following a hallucinated prescription or ignoring a real emergency in favor of a bot's reassurance. #technology #health #ethics
