    That would account for it, and I certainly would never have suspected
    Youtube. This also, I think, shows the advantage of talking to people
    instead of so-called AI. I doubt if any AI now or even later could have
    considered all the factors I brought up, (Although if it read your post,
    maybe it would cite it.)

    Have you noticed that Google AI, and maybe others, repeat every word in
    one's question, to make it look like every thing in the question was
    considered and is answered. To make it look like you are getting
    personal attention.

    Good enough for most purposes. Sanity check is essential.

    Perplexity (and probably others, but I like P because it generates nice
    .pdf files) actually DOES address each of my concerns, unlike doctors
    who seem to have a lot of selective deafness. This, if nothing else,
    leads me to believe that medical AI has a really great future.

    I'm really tired of dealing with doctors, all of whom seem to have
    tunnel vision -- except the generalists (family, internists, etc.), who
    are generally a waste of time unless you know you need a prescription
    for a mammogram etc.

    Personal? Only the bottom half believes that.
