ChatGPT is widely used by everyone. From taking advice to solving math problems and completing assignments, this AI tool has made many tasks simpler and faster. Now, a 27-year-old woman has revealed that the artificial intelligence suggested she had cancer even before doctors could find it.
Marly Garnreiter, a resident of Paris, suffered from night sweats and itchy skin in early 2024 following her father’s death due to colon cancer. While her medical test reports were fine, and Marly thought the symptoms were due to stress, she asked ChatGPT about it.
To her surprise, it was suggested that she might have blood cancer.
“It said I had blood cancer. My friends were skeptical and said I should rely on real doctors,” she was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
However, at that time, she did not think it was true and assumed it was just an overreaction until she later started experiencing health issues. As her chest pain and fatigue increased, she went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that originates in the white blood cells.
“I felt like everything was unfair. I didn’t want my family to go through this again,” she said, also adding that “it is really important for everyone to listen to our bodies.”
Marly is currently undergoing treatment.
What Is Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Hodgkin lymphoma, also called Hodgkin’s lymphoma or Hodgkin’s disease, is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. It originates from the lymph nodes and can also spread to other organs.
The disease is often highly treatable, especially if caught early. Treatment can be administered through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy in some cases.
