  1. I think the monkey with computer chips in his brain and connected to the InterWebs could kick the AI's keister.

  2. YOU DUMB GITS!
    AI is not needed for this, just the algorithm.
    They are Gaslighting you that AI is good when it is dangerous and a efreet in a bottle.

  3. A prominent doctor once stated that he never saw an unvaccinated cancer patient?

  4. Hopefully AI can make the virtual colonoscopy more accurate in the future

  5. AI is the end of humanity!

  6. AI needs to be totally dismantled.

  7. ALLOPATHIC medicine is a leading cause of death. Artificial Intelligence is more junk science.

  8. NBC News, STOP using the overly broad term "AI" that confuses pattern-recognizers (shown in this story) with ChatGPT-like technology! If you called everything from brakes to airbags "safety equipment" then people wouldn’t understand that needing a recall on one doesn’t mean that you have to stop using the other!

    Don’t make people think we shouldn’t put a hold on ChatGPT-like tech because we don’t want to give up this kind of pattern-recognition…they are not the same tech and don’t have the same problems as each other!

  9. Wow! This is really good news! Hopefully the A.i isn't an expensive additional charge! 😅

  10. and they always said aliens would be probing our arses…..

  11. OMG THANK YOU A.I.! WE NEED TO BRING ROBOT DOCTORS INTO THE HOSPITAL AND SURGERY. 🎉❤
