A recent survey indicates that approximately one in six adults in the U.S. consult AI chatbots for medical advice at least once a month. The story highlights a particular case where a woman turned to ChatGPT for guidance after experiencing concerning symptoms and ultimately received a correct diagnosis of Bell's palsy, which was verified by a medical professional. This trend shows growing confidence among consumers in using AI for health-related inquiries, although there is an emphasis on not replacing traditional healthcare professionals.
