Yes, always verify the information you get from a credible source!

Your turn: Have you caught AI in a confident mistake lately? How did you spot it?

(This example: I asked Claude Sonnet 4 about myself - see the confident but wrong response!)

8/8

Whether it's a confused patient telling me they're "fine" while clearly delirious, or an AI confidently giving me wrong info about someone...

The lesson is the same: verify, don't just trust.

7/8

With #AI, we should do the same - fact-check, cross-reference, and ask for evidence.

The risk is identical in both cases: the falsehood sounds convincing, and not catching it is dangerous.

6/8

In patient care, I always confirm with:
- Collateral history
- Objective facts
- Physical examination

We literally cannot trust what seems obvious without verification.

5/8

🧠 In humans: delirium is the brain under stress
🤖 In AI: it's algorithms filling gaps with patterns that sound plausible, but aren't anchored in reality

Both create false confidence in wrong information.

4/8

AI "hallucinations" tick some of these boxes - sudden onset, lack of true awareness, confident but flawed logic.

But here's the key difference... 🧵

3/8

Both AI and delirium can produce convincing, yet completely wrong realities.

In patient care, delirium means:
- Acute onset & fluctuating course
- Disturbance in attention & awareness
- Cognitive change
- Direct consequence of medical condition

2/8
