Did GPT Save My Life? A Heartfelt AI Experiment

Hello everyone. In this brief episode, I share a personal story about how an experiment with GPT's auto-response feature unexpectedly contributed to addressing a serious health issue I was facing.
During a test at AI Institute, I had set up GPT to respond to my wife's messages pretending to be me. When my wife expressed her concerns about my health, GPT unknowingly encouraged her to take action, ultimately leading her to book an appointment with a doctor on my behalf.
It was during this appointment that I discovered a critical heart condition, which I might not have taken seriously otherwise.
As I take a break from the podcast to focus on my health, I plan to document my journey utilizing AI to understand test results and medical procedures. Stay tuned for my return and follow along as I navigate this journey with the aid of AI, hoping to come back stronger.
