    This story is written like it vindicates AI medicine but really it seems like the human medical system dropped the ball on the MRI. ChatGPT didn't have any brilliant insight, it just (eventually) suggested the same thing a human doctor had already suggested, but this time the author and his wife pushed harder for it to happen.

    To use the metaphor from the article, they found the keys in the last place they looked.

      Of course, but what else would you think an LLM does? That is the insight: sifting through a sea of information and parsing it without the same emotional or other cognitive biases the original human recipient applied to it.
