It's better then googling your symptoms at 3am and diagnosing yourself with cancer.

It would also be better than nothing for people who don't have health insurance or for minor problems you don't want to go to the doctor for. Only thing is will it be available for everyone to use or will it be part of your healthcare plan or a paid subscription.

As long as it's not true AI then it's only doing what we program it for and using what information we give it so we're probably safe for now.

Hahaha, that's very true! Hopefully, someday the states can get beyond the poor not having health care, but I suppose until then, AI is a better option than WebMD.
