my 3yo has had tons of dental/cavity issues. we've been taking her to dentists for years, and they have spent an awful lot of time not even subtly intimating that @selentelechia is a shitty mom. tonight i took our case to Dr @ChatGPTapp what happened next ... may surprise you @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp this was spurred by the latest pediatric dentists, who were setting us up with an appointment to crown her molars, came back and reported that the decay had gotten much worse and they would need to extract her four top incisors too obviously this was incredibly distressing to us @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp but it was also WEIRD because there is nothing in kiddo's life that would explain that. yet the dentists were a hateful combination of incurious and hostile about why, exactly, this was happening. it felt off enough that i was compelled to sanity check with another robot. and--- @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp "that's funny. no one has ever mentioned this possibility to us but it would explain a lot about why nothing we do for her teeth helps. i wonder if the characteristic symptoms match up with the ones she has experienced." @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp we went through about potential genetic causes, which are rare but seem more likely for our case (?) than prenatal issues feels like kind of an outside shot but I'm gonna grab her SNP panel in a bit and see if she has novel mutations in the most likely culprits @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp the last thing i did was to feed it kiddo's dental x-rays. "that's crazy" you say? not quite. first of all, i can cross-check it with a dentist's analysis anyway. second, chat GPT is very good at technical image analysis in at least some domains @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp "analyzing images" @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp the analysis and recommendations were pretty much in line with what the dentist recommended from viewing her x-rays. this is somewhat reassuring. however, @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp the diagnosis matters immensely especially if she has genetically-driven enamel hypoplasia, we have to take a bunch of proactive steps to protect her adult teeth the instant they erupt @selentelechia @ChatGPTapp fortunately it turns out chatgpt is also very good at roasting dentistry as a profession and giving advice about how to proceed as customers so overall i would say its earned its $20 for january

IVF mixup: white couple have black babies

A n IVF mixup has resulted in a white couple giving birth to black twins. Prior to DNA testing, no one can be sure whether the white woman’s eggs were fertilised with the black man’s sperm, or the black couple’s embryo was mistakenly implanted in the white woman. It is believed that Mr and Mrs A, the white couple, want to keep the babies and there is conjecture about Mr and Mrs B, the black couple, wanting them too.1 Under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, a woman who has a child born through IVF, even if it is not genetically hers, is the “legal mother”. Paternity, however, is “open to legal interpretation”.1–3
