Recently, I found myself questioning the accuracy of a diagnosis provided by a doctor I visited. Surprisingly, an AI seemed to offer a more insightful assessment. However, I understand the importance of not solely relying on AI-generated information. With that in mind, I’m eager to discover a reputable online platform where I can seek medical advice. Ideally, I hope to find a community where I can obtain multiple opinions to make a more informed decision about my health. If anyone could recommend such a site, I would greatly appreciate it.

    AI isn’t actually doing a diagnosis. It’s just trying to predict what to say based on what other people have said online. Often the AI generated content/answers are just wrong. Maybe an AI properly trained on symptoms could give accurate results but that isn’t really what is happening with most of these AI models.

    The AI answer will sound more detailed and involve more fluff. A doctor will often be shorter on details but just because they don’t have time for the fluff. Even doctors think AI answers sound better due to the fluff. It doesn’t mean the AI is actually better or something you can trust.
