Is anyone else using AI like ChatGPT
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 8 hours ago | Replies (17)Comment receiving replies
I use ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. I've used them to help me understand the biopsy results, surgical report, and prostate pathology report. I found it useful to paste in those documents and then ask it to summarize. Then I'd ask it questions about my reports. Two comments: first, with them constantly being updated it changes over time which one does the best job on a given day with a particular type of task. Second, with new ones out like Grok and Facebook's (whatever it's called) I probably need to spend some time and figure out which one is generally best now. Any suggestions on ones people really like right now? Best wishes.

I have tried them all and for me, ChatGPT was giving me the best results and I like the way it asks if you want it in PDF format.

The thing is, How you word a query to an AI or just google is critical. Since I was in the computer field for 50 years, 25 as programmer with a dozen+ languages, 25 years doing all support for companies with up to 30 people. When I ran the consulting company I found that people do not Know how to write a question. They leave out main factors, they don’t pose the question in a way that relates to exactly what they’re asking. It makes it very difficult to find answers when you can’t pose the question exactly
Your idea about just pasting in the full medical explanation is probably the best way to do it. There might be words in front or behind it that could more closely clarify it so that the AI can get the answer right. I would prefix every question with something like “ Have prostate cancer got these results, What do they mean for me?”
I use google and Duck duck go as well as Perplexity. Just searching in the regular search engines works fine if you can pose the question properly. Perplexity works well with very complex technical questions.
