AI Chatbots Are Even Worse at Giving Medical Advice Than We Thought

It’s tempting to think that an LLM chatbot can answer any question you pose it, including those about your health. After all, chatbots have been trained on plenty of medical information, and can regurgitate it if given the right prompts. But that doesn’t mean they will give you accurate medical advice, and a new study shows how easily AI’s supposed expertise breaks down. In short, they are even worse at it than I thought.In the study, researchers first quizzed several chatbots about medical information. In these carefully conducted tests, ChatGPT-4o, Llama 3, and Command R+ correctly diagnosed medical scenarios an impressive 94% of the time—though they were able to recommend the right treatment a much less impressive 56% of the time. But that wasn’t a real-world test for the chatbots medic...

Abhishek Banerjee on Legacy: ‘Made me aware of how storytelling changes`

In 2026, Abhishek Banerjee may have three projects lined up on the same platform, but he insists they couldn’t be more different from one another. While the actor is excited about being part of Netflix’s anthology Lust Stories 3 and Rajkummar Rao’s maiden production Toaster, the project closest to his heart is Legacy. After all, it marks his first Tamil web series. “Working in a different language and cultural environment pushed me out of my comfort zone. It made me more aware, more prepared, and more respectful of how storytelling changes with context and region,” he said of the crime drama led by R Madhavan. Unlike Legacy, Lust Stories 3 may have offered Banerjee a familiar language, but the material made him explore unfamiliar terrain. The actor, who stars in filmmaker Vikramaditya Mo...

IIT Guwahati develops low-cost system to remove 99 pct arsenic from groundwater

The Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati researchers have developed a new system that can effectively remove 99 per cent arsenic from contaminated water at a low cost. The electrocoagulation system has demonstrated the ability to remove contaminants within a few minutes, making it suitable for use in regions with limited access to complex water treatment infrastructure. Due to rapid industrialisation and urban growth, global reliance on groundwater has increased significantly. In many regions, groundwater contains arsenic released from natural rock formations or human activities such as mining and agriculture. In a press release, IIT Guwahati stated that Long-term exposure can cause serious health problems, including organ damage and cancer. "Around 140 million people globally are exp...

Cold snow, hot takes: Lululemon Olympics gear – National

Whenever Team Canada laces up its skates and clips on its skis for another Olympics, fans back home become armchair critics — and it’s not just the performances they’re judging. The last few Games have shown that Canadians love to hate their team’s uniform. They griped about the graffiti-inspired jean jackets Hudson’s Bay made for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and compared the pattern on some of the red-and-white pieces in Lululemon Athletica Inc.’s collection for the 2024 Paris Games to uncooked bacon.This year, they’re likening the maroon and red colour scheme Lululemon is using for the uniform to a Tim Hortons cup and complaining that a puffy, shawl-like vest the team wore at the opening ceremony was akin to a sleeping bag or oversized oven mitt.But experts say none of that criticism really m...
