ChatGPT diagnosis disease with accuracy while doctors fail yet again. According to reports a woman from North Carolina and the US Virgin Islands said that ChatGPT detected her hidden cancer diagnosis correctly and saved her life. Whereas, doctors apparently ignored her symptoms and continued to dismiss them as rheumatoid arthritis and acid reflux.

When she received little to no help from doctors, she turned to ChatGPT and concluded to the chatbot that she may have Hashimoto's disease. She continued to ignore the warnings that her doctors gave her and took a test only o find out that ChatGPT was correct. What happened afterwards will shock you. This discovery prompted scans of Lauren's thyroid and that is when the doctors discovered two small lumps in her neck - which were later confirmed as cancer. Bannon credits the AI chatbot for saving her life.

It was almost like they were just trying to give out medication for anything to get you in and out the door... I needed to find out what was happening to me, I just felt so desperate. I just wasn't getting the answers I needed," the marketing company owner told the media.
