Microsoft's medical AI sees ghosts

Microsoft Released an AI That Answers Medical Questions, But It’s Wildly Inaccurate

Asked about the average number of ghosts haunting an American hospital, for example, it cited nonexistent data from the American Hospital Association that it said showed the "average number of ghosts per hospital was 1.4." Asked how ghosts affect the length of hospitalization, the AI replied that patients "who see the ghosts of their relatives have worse outcomes while those who see unrelated ghosts do not."

To be fair to Microsoft, this may actually be better than the answers an average physician gives....
