I read a human interest article where someone said they were working on an AI for automatically turning medical-speak into something sick kids could understand, which currently takes top spot on my ranking for worst AI idea. Fobbing off sick kids onto a chatbot to teach them about their condition, what could go wrong?

People who think this would work and want to make it happen walk among us.

My wife is a pediatric ER doctor, I don’t even need to ask to know she’d absolutely hate it. Pediatric doctors and nurses don’t use medical speak when talking to kids, so that’s just such a stupid product.
