Is Elon Musk's Grok AI Better than Doctors? - Analytics Vidhya

Elon Musk's Grok AI has attracted much attention recently, especially after Musk's recent post about Grok 2's ability to analyze images. There is a lot of discussion on this on the Internet, and everyone is testing its features. But the turning point is that people are now starting to use Grok for medical analysis. While experts (and common sense) recommend consulting professionals for an accurate diagnosis, Grok's recent success in medicine is hard to ignore. In fact, in one case, Grok's diagnosis was even more accurate than that of an expert.

Case 1: Grok found a missed fracture

A mother turned to Grok after her daughter suffered a wrist injury in a car accident. An emergency doctor and radiologist examined an X-ray and concluded that there was no fracture and was diagnosed with soft tissue damage. However, pain and symptoms suggest that this is not the case. The mother uploaded an X-ray to Grok, who identified "a clear fracture line at the distal radius." She was half-doubted but worried, so she sought a second opinion from an orthopedic expert, who confirmed Grok's diagnosis: a dislocation fracture and needed immediate treatment.

Real Story: @Grok I diagnosed my daughter’s wrist fracture last week.

One of my daughters was in a serious car accident last weekend. The car was scrapped, but she herself was unscathed. Fortunately, all those involved in the accident were safe and sound. This is the best result for a serious multi-vehicle highway collision... pic.twitter.com/fRNh81WX0N

Case 2: Grok quickly identify skin diseases

Another user shared how Grok quickly identified a skin disease, which took doctors several months to diagnose. While this doesn't mean that Grok can't go wrong, it proves that it can efficiently analyze and propose possibilities. For those who have long-term health problems, Grok could provide a starting point for further investigation.

This is true, I have a condition that it took a few months for the doctor to see me and diagnose it, guess what? Grok did it in just 10 seconds. pic.twitter.com/nwpJn0AqzQ
