Even experienced doctors were unable to diagnose a medical issue in a dog, but ChatGPT was successful. It is hardly surprising as the OpenAI-based ChatGPT had already aced several of the most difficult tests. The dog's owner wrote on Twitter that the vet was unable to determine the health of his pet but that ChatGPT was able to detect the problem after he entered the symptoms of the sick dog.
A vet's job was not mentioned in the claim that ChatGPT, which is now powered by the GPT-4, can replace 20 or so professions. Yet, in light of this situation, they must be cautious of their new local rival.
Cooper, a Twitter user, described how an AI chatbot saved his dog's life after it was found to have a tick-borne illness. Sassy, Cooper's dog, was initially responding favorably to the recommended therapy, then her condition abruptly worsened and her anemia got worse.
Cooper sought advice from several veterinarians but was unable to receive a precise diagnosis; instead, it was suggested that Cooper watch Sassy's condition closely.
"My puppy was saved by #GPT4. My dog was diagnosed with a tick-borne illness, and the veterinarian started the appropriate therapy. Although having severe anemia, her condition appeared to be improving somewhat. But after a few days, everything started to go south, "Cooper stated in his tweet.
Cooper searched for a diagnosis for his dog using GPT4, a language model created for natural language processing, but there were none to be found. Cooper described his dog's symptoms in great detail. The AI chatbot didn't identify itself as a vet, but it stated that Sassy's blood results and symptoms might point to immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.
With this new information, Cooper consulted another veterinarian who confirmed the AI's prognosis and began treating Sassy appropriately. Owing to the fast diagnosis and treatment, Sassy has made practically a full recovery, according to Cooper. However, a physical examination is still the more reliable and preferred method of disease diagnosis. Therefore, it is advised to seek medical advice before relying significantly on AI to make a diagnosis. always because it might not be the best way always.
AI is a useful auxiliary tool. In complex situations, it could be useful in offering direction and understanding. The use of AI in veterinary medicine is anticipated to grow as technology develops, possibly improving the prognosis of patients' animals.
