What do you use artificial intelligence for these days? This is a conversation that inevitably comes up at group functions for me … do you run into this too? There’s questions about preferred AI chat bot (are you team Claude? Like Grock?) and how we use it for work and play. Of course, the topic of health comes up a lot.

Diet recommendations, exercise plans, even utilizing it as a therapist. There’s been a lot of talk about AI and health advice so we knew this was coming. OpenAI just announced that it’s making ChatGPT Health, a feature that helps users with health-related queries, available to all U.S.-based users over 18 across all plans.

Of course, the timing is a little wild. The announcement comes just days after a Florida-based pastor sued the company for giving a near-fatal suggestion not to consult a doctor. The man ultimately experienced a “massive pulmonary embolism due to multiple blood clots in both of his lungs that brought him to the brink of death,” according to the lawsuit, which has been shared by multiple publications. Doctors’ notes later contradicted ChatGPT’s alleged diagnosis.

But the AI revolution must go on … and you might recall that OpenAI started testing the feature through a dedicated hub earlier in January, allowing users to integrate data from other services and their personal information from services such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. (At that time, OpenAI said users were asking 230 million health-related queries each week. That number has now gone up to 300 million.)

Interestingly, users can also integrate their medical records for more tailored responses. According to TechCrunch, several studies have highlighted that AI bots are not reliable for medical advice. However, this has not deterred companies like Anthropic and Google from launching health-related AI features. Tanzeem Choudhury, the chief of health innovation at Cornell Tech, told CBS News this is reflective of the state of healthcare in the U.S. “Our healthcare is broken … I think that’s why we are seeing so many people asking for advice.”

President Trump has put off a major escalation of his military campaign against Iran amid efforts to revive diplomacy to open the Strait of Hormuz and a debate over the impact of declining munitions stocks, according to several officials, including the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The U.S. military had been poised Friday to launch an intensive series of strikes against Iran, which could have lasted up to two weeks, the officials said. But the operation was delayed so diplomacy could proceed and as officials discussed the effect a major attack could have on the U.S.’s shrinking stocks of Patriot and other air defense interceptors. The president could still order an attack, officials said, noting that the situation remains fluid.

Though the Pentagon has dismissed concerns about U.S. stockpiles, Pentagon officials have expressed far greater anxiety in private, according to current and former officials, arguing that the military desperately needs more money to replenish munitions, including to deter China and Russia. Plus, the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, Adm. Brad Cooper, recommended stopping the bombing campaign around the Strait of Hormuz because it has reached the limit of its effectiveness.

Autonomous vehicles … they’re just like us! Meaning that they struggle to find parking and occasionally break the law or get into accidents. Since Waymo came to Austin in 2024, its vehicles have been fined nearly $10,000 in parking tickets, according to documents the Wall Street Journal.

A recent CNN analysis identified hundreds of incidents in which robotaxis allegedly made dangerous maneuvers and struggled with obstacles that humans instinctively handle. They ran red lights, drove into oncoming traffic and active crime scenes, failed to abide by emergency road closures and came within inches of pedestrians lawfully crossing the street—missteps that the robotic vehicles are supposed to be programmed to avoid. And there are the occasional fender benders, too.

It’s clear that robotaxis are either extremely dangerous or a “public health breakthrough,” depending on who you ask. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has come out in favor of Waymo, declaring that its driverless cars crash 68% less than the average human driver. But Jalopnik points out that the IIHS also freely admits having performed some statistical gymnastics to come to that conclusion, since the data to perform a direct comparison is hard to come by.
