Is anyone else using AI like ChatGPT

Yes, that can potentially be very helpful for explaining a complicated lab report, but keep a couple of things in mind:

1. You're abandoning the legal privacy protections in the healthcare sector if you share personal info with ChatGPT. That may or may not matter to you, but at least take time to consider all the ways that information could be used against you or your family some day if it leaks (e.g. by employers, insurance companies, fraudsters, foreign governments, etc).

2. GenAI is accurate a lot of the time, but it's 180° off sometimes, and a bit misleading other times, so never make a decision based just on what it says: it's best to use it as a way to generate questions to ask your medical team and/or follow up with other credible sources.

@northoftheborder -- those are 2 really good cautions to remember. Maybe you should turn them into 2 catchy phrases that'd fit on a mousepad and sell em. Something like: "Your Questions Paint Your Portrait" and "AI Answers: Wisdom or Nonsense?".

I did review that as a potential issue, but I'm retired credit is locked, I worked on removing or masking certain parts, and I get weekly reports on my information in the wild, lets just say I have this covered. And you don't have to add any PII in order to get value out of the tool.
