Cooper, a Twitter user, wanted to make sure his border collie, Sassy, was in good health. Unfortunately, despite being prescribed the correct medication, Sassy’s condition worsened over time. The vet’s diagnosis couldn’t explain Sassy’s symptoms and Cooper feared for her health. Unable to find an answer in the traditional way, Cooper turned to AI chatbot ChatGPT4 and entered Sassy’s bloodwork information into the program. The AI chatbot cautioned that it wasn’t a veterinarian, but suggested that Sassy could be suffering from immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). Cooper took this diagnosis to another vet for confirmation and with the correct treatment provided, Sassy made a full recovery. Cooper was so thankful to ChatGPT4 and said it saved his dog’s life.
The AI chatbot, ChatGPT4, is an advanced program that combines GPT-3 and GPT-4. Cooper used the latest version of ChatGPT, which was released on March 14, to help diagnose his dog’s condition. The previous version, GPT3.5, was unable to provide a prognosis. Cooper noted that he can only imagine the kind of medical diagnostics that will be possible 20 years from now and hopes it helps other pet owners facing similar medical problems.
The story of Cooper, Sassy and ChatGPT4 has been incredibly inspiring for all pet owners. AI technology is able to assess a vast amount of data with precision and accuracy, and can be invaluable when traditional methods fail. Nonetheless, ChatGPT4 is not a substitute for professional advice and owners should always seek professional opinion to make decisions about their pet’s health.
