After he could not get the right diagnosis from a vet, a man entered his sick dog's symptoms and blood tests into ChatGPT, and the AI chatbot suggested that the dog could be suffering from a disease called immune mediated hemolytic anaemia.
He brought that diagnosis to another vet, who confirmed it, and began treating the dog appropriately.

I decided to test ChatGPT's diagnostic capabilities myself, and asked it the following wordy question:
Here is the reply I got from ChatGPT to my question:
A good specialist AI medical diagnosis tool is Symptoma. You enter all your symptoms (separated by commas), and answer any questions Symptoma asks, and it will provide you with the most probable disease diagnoses that match the symptoms.

I decided to test ChatGPT's diagnostic capabilities myself, and asked it the following wordy question:
I have the following symptoms, what illness does this suggest I have?
Constant fatigue
Brain fog
Blunted emotions
Irritable bowel with diarrhoea
I get very tired after physical or mental exertion
Poor sleep
Here are some of my blood tests:
Chronically high antibody titres to the virus coxsackievirus B4 from an antibody test using the neutralisation method, with titres of 1:1024.
Chronically high antibody titres to cytomegalovirus by an antibody test, my antibody levels were 206.8 AU/ml which is much higher than the test reference range of 6.0 AU/mL.
My blood test for anaemia was normal, so I do not have anaemia. My blood test for thyroid hormone was normal.
Here is the reply I got from ChatGPT to my question:
Based on your symptoms and blood tests, it is possible that you may have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
CFS is a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that is not improved with rest and may worsen with physical or mental activity. Other symptoms include brain fog, blunted emotions, irritable bowel with diarrhea, poor sleep, and feeling exhausted after physical or mental exertion.
The presence of chronic high antibody titers to coxsackievirus B4 and cytomegalovirus can also be indicative of CFS. It is important to note that CFS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that other possible causes of your symptoms must first be ruled out before a diagnosis can be made.
