Googling symptoms has never resulted in much info. WebMD would probably conclude I have three types of cancer right now.
I only need pro-active advice - what to look for - what to avoid. I dont need to confirm symptoms because, when youre sick, you typically have more than 1 issue.
I was in a meeting a few weeks ago and my vendor PM shared his screen and had ChatGPT up with the prompt on it "can you eat raw salmon 6 days old in fridge?"
