If the doctor won’t see you now, ChatGPT will — and the A.I. chatbot’s diagnosis may be just as reliable.
A new study led by researchers from Mass General Brigham concluded that ChatGPT was 72% accurate “across all medical specialties and phases of clinical care.” ChatGPT was best at making a final diagnosis, where it was 77% accurate, but less accurate (68%) at figuring out which drugs to prescribe.
The researchers estimated that ChatGPT’s accuracy was at the “level of someone who has just graduated from medical school, such as an intern or resident.” Still, researchers are far from recommending that ChatGPT supplant your doctor, noting artificial intelligence tools are best used to assist medical professionals.

Mercedes in for the long haul
Mercedes has unveiled a heavy-duty electric truck that it hopes will someday replace diesel trucks. Mercedes says the eActros 600 has a range of about 310 miles on a full charge and can haul about 22 tons of cargo. The truck is expected to be available next year. The Mercedes truck will compete with Tesla’s Semi long-haul truck, which rolled out earlier this year.
Weakest link
Despite a constant barrage of warnings from IT departments and security experts about malware-laden emails, 90% of successful cyberattacks are still unleashed because a recipient clicks a suspicious link. The data, published by internet security platform Cloudflare, found that hackers are increasingly using “social engineering” to make their email look like it came from a trusted source, raising the odds the recipient will click a malicious link.
