2 additional thoughts here regarding how @senatorshoshana and I used AI to help identify and address our various ailments: (1) if you are interested in learning more about how real people are using AI to solve meaningful problems, take a look at the "AI Saved Me" (@aisavedme) website [aisavedme.org] that Steve Mock set up. Really amazing stuff happening today as more people are empowered with new AI tools. (2) Many of the stories there, much like Shoshana and mine, involve LLM inquiries about health-related matters. In many of those cases, licensed occupations / activities might come into play. Some states are moving to regulate AI systems when licensed professions are involved. Moves by government to restrict the ability of citizens to access informational tools to learn more about science or their own health will give rise to serious free speech-related concerns. It is true that these new AI tools are not perfect, but no informational resource is. Nor are doctors themselves. As I write in my new essay below, citizens are today able to access an astonishing array of new informational inputs about science and health. This is a hugely positive development and the stories you'll read on the AI Saved Me website mentioned above illustrate how life-changing these systems and services can be for many of us. I look forward to working with others to challenge paternalistic state restrictions on our ability to learn more about science and ourselves. Information is empowerment. Elitist efforts to restrict informational inputs violate our rights to seek out, and learn from, a greater diversity of sources. Such speech restrictions can have real-world consequenses for our well-being.

love this, exactly what we need more of. Stories of how AI is positively impacting individual lives in ways never thought possible before the advance of this technology.
