Lauren Bannon, a mother of two, is grateful to the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT for predicting her cancer in advance.Bannon had been experiencing difficulty moving her fingers both morning and evening for an extended period. After visiting several doctors, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic condition that causes pain, swelling, and inflammation in the joints.
After some time, Bannon began experiencing severe stomach pain and lost about 7 kilograms (14 pounds) in just one month, which alarmed her even more. Despite her concerns, doctors were not helpful and failed to conduct further tests to investigate her condition.

Bannon decided to consult ChatGPT, listing all the symptoms she had been experiencing. The AI chatbot suggested that she might be suffering from Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed.Following ChatGPT's suggestion, Bannon urged her doctors to conduct further tests. To her surprise, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. She then underwent an ultrasound and additional tests, which revealed two small masses in her neck. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
"I felt let down by doctors. It was almost like they were just trying to give out medication for anything to get you in and out the door. If I hadn't looked on ChatGPT, I would've just taken the rheumatoid arthritis medication and the cancer would've spread from my neck to everywhere else. It saved my life. I would've never discovered this without ChatGPT. All my tests were perfect,' Bannon said. Also Read ChatGPT hits 150M active users after Ghibli release
