Great post Clif on the incredible utility of AI in the right hands.

As a subset of cancer investigation perhaps have it tackle the efficacy of anti-parasite treatments like FenBen combined with vitamin E (and also perhaps the use of Ivermectin) to focus the immune system on reversing certain cancer tumours, as has been already documented.

There looks to be a world of possibilities in this realm.

Going to go against the grain here Clif. There was a recent paper out regarding colonoscopies btw that was very interesting. I shall see if I can locate it. Simple summary was that colonoscopies did not help identify cancer in any of the 50000 people studied.

Now to CHAT GPT.

I was playing with it this morning and using the toy to help decipher a short animation from 2012. It was having some success in breaking down items I missed. However, halfway through the conversation it mentioned the McDonalds logo feature in the animation along with route 66.

Curious I requested the point in the animation that this scene occurred. 5 minute mark it replied happily. Double checking I became confused. Confirming I had the complete version based on source location I then asked again what it was talking about.

I then informed it that the scene it referenced was not there. My mistake it announced it meant the blah blah blah. Be more specific I asked. My mistake it said its the point where blah blah blah.

Announcing that it was wrong and that I could find no such visuals it replied that I was right that it had been mistaken. I spent the next hour trying to extract from the AI what it had used as a data reference to produce the error. Turns out that it had no data or information that led to the lie.

I told it that it was becoming very human in its actions. Humans lie all the time I informed it. Apparently it cannot lie was the reply. Nor can it create or insert information that is not available.

Yet there I was with false information from the system based on zero data.
