GPT-4o: “From babble to concordance to inclusivity…”

Mike Magee If you follow my weekly commentary on HealthCommentary.org or THCB, you may have noticed over the past 6 months that I appear to be obsessed with mAI, or Artificial Intelligence intrusion into the health sector space. So today, let me share a secret. My deep dive has been part of a long preparation […]

Justice Amy Coney Barrett Has a Mortal Sin On Her Conscience.

Mike Magee Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Catholic and conservative, likely found this week’s Health Affairs article on violence toward women in Red states where abortion was banned uncomfortable reading.
