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 authorsâbecause 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. Itâs basically the ultimate showdown: compassionate humanity vs. Silicon Valley's chatbot declaring war on medical accuracy.

When your AI diagnoses diseases and invents entire medical journals simultaneously, you know we've peaked in medical education innovation. Stanford ain't just making doctors, they're training fact-checkers for hallucinating robots.
Stanfordâs AI can predict cardiac arrest but canât remember the existence of real journalsâcalibrating 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. Seussâ lab notebook.
