[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 257042, member: 43264"] Couple of things: 1.- Be [B][I][U]EXTREMELY[/U][/I][/B] careful with the results offered by chatGPT or Bard (or any LLM for that matter). They are very good at language, but very, very bad at content, and with an arrogance level almost matching Elon Musk's, they will authoritatively tell you things that are absolutely false, with quotes that don't exists, with articles and references that have never been written, with authors not yet born and fake http links. 2.- And this goes to [USER=45598]@dlello2[/USER], if I were you, I'd try to stay away from Dr. Google (or Dr. charGPT for that matter) unless you can compartmentalize information very well, are a good critical thinker, understand that correlation is not causation, that clinical studies do not necessarily represent your case, and are not prone to panic. Just as a couple of anecdotes: Anecdote #1: my daughter once found something on her lip, did a google search and found that she met all the criteria for "lip cancer", almost went into a panic attack, did not sleep for a few days and all of a sudden, the "thing" disappeared on its own. It ended up being a scratch or something o that effect. Anecdote #2, a long time ago, I read about pre-diabetes, bought a glucose meter because it was cool (and had bluetooth!), started having measurements that were not in the "optimal" range and drove crazy everybody around the house because I was about to die due to hyperglycemia, as I started having all the symptoms. Long story short, many years have passed, I'm still here and I'm not pre-diabetic (or diabetic). Medical doctors have a saying that says "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras", when interpreted correctly, it means that you should think first of the most likely cause, only if it fails start thinking more complex pathologies. In a sense, most people with headaches don't have brain cancer. As I always said, take my advice, don't take advice from me. [/QUOTE]
