Chat GPT may have saved my boston's life My 10 year old boston recently developed a small bump on his head that didn't seem to be bother him at all. I showed it to his vet who reassured me it was almost certainly just a cyst because it was subcutaneous, freely moveable, and squishy. I decided to ask chat GPT about it and based on the features it insisted that I ask my vet to do a fine needle aspiration because it was likely a mast cell tumor. I took him back to the vet this morning and they agreed to do the FNA, and of course it came back as a MCT. He's scheduled for surgery on friday. Prognosis is looking pretty good right now but we'll need to see what the final pathology shows. I have my share of concerns about AI but in this case I'm very thankful for it! And btw this is a highly reputable vet who we've always had great experiences with in the past. I don't necessarily blame them because I know it can be hard to diagnose things based on an exam alone, but I am a bit surprised a MCT wasn't on their radar given the breed.
