Three years ago I suddenly developed blurry vision in one of my eyes. Went to the GP. Eye drops. No effect. Went to a specialized eye hospital. No solution there either. A few weeks ago I tried something new: I asked an LLM. It analyzed my diet and suggested I might be omega-3 deficient. It also pointed me to studies showing that this can impair the meibomian glands (which produce the oily layer that smooths the surface of the cornea.) I started taking algae oil supplements. Two weeks later… my vision is perfectly restored! Honestly, I got a bit emotional. Banning AI from being used for medical questions is a terrible idea.
