Another day, another time I’ve been genuinely blown away by AI.
This week, I uploaded my daughter’s dental X-rays and investigations and asked ChatGPT to help me understand what was going on. It explained what the issue seemed to be, why it mattered, what kind of orthodontic treatment might follow, and what questions I should ask at the appointment.
Then I went to the orthodontist and honestly, the consultation validated almost everything. Of course, I would never use ChatGPT instead of a specialist. But as a tool for understanding, preparing, and making medical conversations less intimidating, it felt incredibly powerful.
We talk a lot about AI for productivity, writing, coding, automation but moments like this make me think one of its biggest impacts may be something simpler: helping ordinary people understand expert worlds a little better.
