There's a few ways in which I use it in each of those domains.
I mean, when I'm in the hospital and when I'm caring for patients, the way that I found it to be most helpful is as kind of a second opinion.
And so seeing a patient, understanding what's going on with them, thinking about that I think for myself.
But also then if it's a complex case or a difficult situation, asking, are there things that I might be missing?
Or what is the latest evidence on X, Y, or Z?
I think what we should be wary of and something that I think about in the medical education space is not using it as a second opinion, but as a substitute for your own critical thinking and clinical reasoning.
And I think there's a real danger of that because these things are so powerful and so facile and so fluent that the temptation is large to allow it to substitute for the thinking as opposed to using it as a curbside consult in a way.
In my writing and my research life, I haven't used it for writing anything myself, partly because I I don't think it's a very good writer.
But it is, I think, a fantastic research tool and allowing you to unearth things in a much more efficient way than let's say a Google search or even a PubMed search, we can point you very quickly to the very specific thing that you are trying to understand.
And the caveat here is it is incredibly important to verify that information because
particularly with things like citations or hyperlinks, many times it gets it wrong.
And certainly for high stakes types of things, you want to verify the information after it is unearthed to you.
And then at home, you know, I use it in all sorts of ways, often for things like my coffee machine broke a couple of weeks ago and I w need some help figuring out how to fix it or concocting bedtime stories for the kids, things of that nature.
I found it to be quite interesting and helpful to use.
Yeah, I wouldn't say enormously, but I think five or ten percent, you know, if I had to put a number on it.
For instance, if I'm starting to research a space that I don't know a whole lot about, I might ask it for who are five people in this space that might be interesting to talk to or have different perspectives.
That might be an example.
Another might be something that I previously would have just gone to PubMed for or immediately gone to Google and tried to sift through.
Which papers are potentially most relevant for what I'm trying to understand.
Now I might run that through an AI model and it will unearth interesting things that I might have missed.
