With G6, active surveillance would be likely recommended by any urologist. Even G7 as long as you are 3 + 4 and not 4 + 3 or unless you have a high decipher (I fell into that category, 3 + 4 but high decipher).

As someone who works extensively with AI, be wary of the response. For one it's likely cached, so not the latest (you tell the AI to "refresh your knowledge" and "think hard" and "no guessing or cached answers" to help overcome that). Remember there is very little "I" in AI, they are web scrapers who can intelligently assemble a readable response based on multiple sources, and those sources may be garbage. AI needs trained to answer properly. I'm not saying what it gave you is wrong, just to verify it outside of AI.

@survivor5280 I have a PhD in physics so I do a lot of research on this. I’m a “measure 3 times cut once” sort of guy.

Thanks for pointing this out - I was just about to say that same thing. Also , regarding "training" - one can unknowingly "train" it to say what we wish to hear ! If one asks it the same thing enough times it will try to guess what you want to hear - just horribly scary thing to think that some people do not know all about imperfectness of AI ☹️.

Nobody should ever rely on AI for medical advice. It is OK to use it for summarizing research papers for example, or getting some general idea about particular condition or about all options for a treatment but NEVER take it as 100% correct or as adequate to replace a doctor or your own reasoning.
