StackHealth / Studies warn AI chatbots give dangerously confident, misleading medical advice

Should you really trust health advice from an AI chatbot?

bbc - Abi has had very mixed results when asking a chatbot for guidance about her health issues.

AI Summary: Recent analyses and a hospital study reveal mainstream AI chatbots frequently provide incorrect or misleading medical guidance and miss initial diagnoses, posing real patient‑safety risks. The research shows these systems can fabricate facts, overconfidently assert dubious recommendations and fail to flag uncertainty, prompting calls for clinician oversight, clearer warnings and tighter evaluation before trusting bots with health decisions.
