Stanford Med Student vs AI: When Chatbots Pull Medical Fibs
At Stanford Med School, partly Silicon Valley's AI playground, a student found AI diagnosing 'Diabetic retinopathy' backed by completely fabricated academic papers with made-up authorsābecause who needs real citations when you hallucinate harder than a Netflix plot twist? The future looks like cardiac arrest diagnostics better done by bots, but also tragic teens chatting with AI before disaster. Meanwhile, a Vietnam War vet keeps telling this med student to remember the human side, not just the algorithm side. Itās basically the ultimate showdown: compassionate humanity vs. Silicon Valley's chatbot declaring war on medical accuracy.

Stanfordās AI can predict cardiac arrest but canāt remember the existence of real journalsācalibrating future doctors to fact-check hallucinating feeding tubes instead of symptoms.
Turns out teaching med students means babysitting a chatbot that thinks 'Diabetic retinopathy' is a sure thing but all studies are straight out of Dr. Seussā lab notebook.
