Sure, the results CAN be good. The real question is if your health is one of those cases you want to roll the dice with. I don't, but that's up to everyone.

Tesla fsd was the same thing. You needed to have people to try it. Some paid for it with their lives. Will it make progress, sure. Do I want to be the one that dies to make that progress? No

The real healthcare system is rolling a dice too. A different dice, but an expensive one with a lot of delay and inconvenience - it's not like there's a choice that's problem free.

The unfortunate reality is that when you have a doctor you're also rolling the dice. I've had been misdiagnosed a few times in my life. These misdiagnosis were very disruptive but luckily not life threatening.

And you trust an LLM trained on Reddit and Twitter not to misdiagnose you?

That's not what I said. There are probably plenty of situations (more standard) where doctors do a good job. The doctors also have the benefit of performing a physical exam, ordering various tests etc. so they have more data.

My point still stands though. They definitely mess things up. At the very least LLMs can be an additional tool that doesn't have the subjective bias, the cost issue, or lack of time/desire to investigate deeper or listen to the patient.

EDIT: LLMs would be better if they could access case data. Maybe that's something to consider (anonymized).

		I just upload everything to Lord Grok and the answers I get are amazing. I then run it claude with Ralph and the results define explanation. I am humbled...

I have rolled the dice with it, and it's been great. I use it to tune fitness and every mental dimension. Time will tell.

I will tell you this, using AI is better than using HN and random people who don't know me. I had the best technical conversation of my entire life with AI. I feel like I can handle it, and maybe I will dive into AI psychosis at some point. who knows!

I can say that it is better than the silence I've had for years from no community giving two shits about what I wanted to build. I can admit the number of mistakes I've made, but at a certain point - enough is enough.

It sounds like you were lacking community, then went deeper into isolation.

		You are not wrong. I blew up a great career that burned me out to go on a journey that was absolutely crushing to emerge with a machine that allows me to have the deepest technical conversations of my entire career. Professionally isolated for sure. But, im married and have friends so its not that bad and dont worry. I just came to many observations about myself and AI has helped process so many emotions that I would never share with another human.
