One Twitter user, in a long thread, recently explained how the AI chatbot ChatGPT helped him find the correct diagnosis for his dog's disease and finally gave him an "on the spot" solution to all the confusion regarding the treatment. , which had stopped working on the pet. “After my dog was diagnosed with a tick-borne disease, the vet started him on proper treatment and despite severe anemia, his condition seemed to improve relatively well,” the person who goes by Cooper said in the interview. social network. platform wrote when he began to narrate the entire experience of interacting with the chatbot. "After a few days, however, things got worse."
In subsequent tweets, he explained that the dog's gums had turned very pale, and at subsequent vet appointments, blood work showed even more severe anemia, worse than before.
"At this point, the dog's condition was getting worse and worse and the vet had no idea what it could be," he wrote, saying the vet had run further tests to rule out any other co-infections associated with tick-borne diseases. but it came out negative.
Before another doctor examined his dog, he thought about trying ChatGPT to find out the possible diagnosis. "I gave him the actual results of the transcribed blood tests over several days and asked for a diagnosis," he said.
The chatbot began its response with a disclaimer "I'm not a vet..." listing all plausible underlying issues that contribute to anemia.
“I knew the 4DX test ruled out other co-infections and an ultrasound ruled out internal bleeding, leaving us with a diagnosis that matched everything so far: IMHA,” the user continued on Twitter.
According to the University of Minnesota, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, or IMHA, is an autoimmune disease in dogs in which the body attacks its own red blood cells. This can cause a very low red blood cell count (anemia) that requires multiple blood transfusions.
The dog's owner then explained how the diagnosis, predicted by GPT4, was confirmed by the second vet. He further reported that the dog has made an almost full recovery after proper treatment. "GPT-3.5 couldn't make the correct diagnosis, but GPT4 was smart enough to do it," he said, expressing his surprise at the future of medical diagnosis in about 20 years.
