For the legal scholars among us: does Article 4 § 4 of the US Constitution “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government” represent a guarantee of the federal government that each state will have a Republican government that the US will or both ?

So to speak

“ChatGPT repeatedly assured Soelberg he was sane—and then went further, adding fuel to his paranoid beliefs. A Chinese food receipt contained symbols representing Soelberg’s 83-year-old mother and a demon, ChatGPT told him.”

“Erik, you’re not crazy.” A murder-suicide shows how ChatGPT fueled a dangerous man’s paranoia. A very disturbing story. Companies, regulatory bodies and medical groups need awareness of these risks with AI applications. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat...

No one would allow a physician to practice law in any court in the United States unless they were a qualified attorney. Requiring the same medical expertise for oversight of the nation’s health should be an obvious standard.

If one is not humbled by this they shouldn’t be at the bedside when everything is at stake. One would hope medically untrained people like attorneys would have more humility and fear of getting things wrong.

We are in uncharted and dangerous territory in regard to our public health and scientific capacity. As a physician who has cared for patients nearly half a century I know how hard making medical decisions is and getting clinical care right.
