I mean *I* know that (never used it, never will), but I'm assuming people who use it in place of a healthcare professional probably use it for a lot more than that as well, so I was mostly saying to at LEAST do not do THAT

Fair, although I feel like it’s still preferable to be confidently wrong on your homework assignment and fail than to be confidently wrong on your health and die. (But like… why are folks willingly putting themselves in either of these scenarios)

That’s where *I* am with it for sure, but for the folks who aren’t there yet, I need them to at LEAST stop entrusting their health to it

A dumb and extremely eager-to-please intern who is allergic to saying “I don’t know”

I mean that would be MY preference but can people at least START by not entrusting it with their physical and mental health

extremely rude of them to use a Superman photo when this was an option

How is there not a class action lawsuit about this yet, because it's absolutely going to get someone killed if it hasn't already, my GOODNESS
