Elon Musk asked people to upload their medical data to X so his AI company could learn to interpret MRIs and CT scans

In Elon Musk’s world, AI is the new MD. The X CEO is encouraging users to upload their medical test results—such as CT and bone scans—to the platform so that Grok, X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, can learn how to interpret them efficiently.

“Try submitting x-ray, PET, MRI or other medical images to Grok for analysis,” Musk wrote on X last month. “This is still early stage, but it is already quite accurate and will become extremely good. Let us know where Grok gets it right or needs work.”

It turns out, Grok needs work.

The AI successfully analyzed blood test results and identified breast cancer, according to some users. But it also grossly misinterpreted other pieces of information, according to physicians who responded to Musk’s post. In one instance, Grok mistook a “textbook case” of tuberculosis for a herniated disk or spinal stenosis. In another, the bot mistook a mammogram of a benign breast cyst for an image of testicles.

1. LOL!

[Lovie777]

2. WTF....

well their cult will do it.

AI will implant the robots with the cult’s dna.

Equals to a very bad sci fi movie.

3. There's real medical people doing this

People that understand both computers and medicine. Or we can hope the guy that pretends to know everything will do it too.

Musk wants to steal everyone else's hardwork.

4. People actually did this?

You just can't fix that kind of stupid.

5. And then he'll sell the info to the highest bidder

Anyone who does give them their medical info is a fucking idiot.

6. Data has value.

If Elon wants my medical data then the billionaire can pay for it.

Even if I were paid, I would want so many privacy constraints put on the data that Elon would never agree to the terms. I can already imagine the nuisance marketing calls aimed at the participants of this scheme.

7. Here's some data for Musk

[Earthrise]

8. Nope. I wanted to 23&Me genetic analysis for fun. I knew eventually the

data was going to belong to the “health” industry.

9. What kind of an idiot

Uploads their medical data to ai/ elooney

10. From my cold dead hands, *hole. Local imaging center was sold to a company that uses AI...

…to “further” check mammograms, and you get to pay out of pocket for that part.

We decided to drive back to the old town, where the women’s imaging center has won awards. Am just as glad we did. On Monday I had the mammo and an ultrasound — and today they called me back for another look. Not what I wanted to hear, but I’d much rather hear that than my mammo showed (what was that you said?! ) testicles.

Elon Muskrat can go to hell.
