The 37-year-old father of two children from Ireland Warren Tirnie was at the center of tragic history after he trusted the advice of artificial intelligence instead of doctors.
The man complained of severe sore throat and difficulties with swallowing, but instead of seeing a doctor, he discussed the symptoms with Chatgpt.
The model assured him that “this is hardly cancer” and signs do not indicate a dangerous disease. Calier, Warren postponed a visit to specialists. When the condition worsened, he nevertheless ended up in a hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with an adenocarcino esophagus of the fourth stage.
The prognosis for such a diagnosis is extremely heavy – the average five -year survival is only 5-10%.
Now the man admits that he was naive, and warns others not to rely on AI in health matters. Openai was also reminded that ChatGPT is not intended for diagnosis or treatment of diseases. And even more so does not replace consultation with medical specialists.
