Maybe I am missing it, but I don’t see where AI solved anything in this anecdote. Rather, a team of medical professionals and a patient willing to advocate for herself did.

If AI enabled her to advocate for herself to the right professionals, and do so with data in hand, that’s huge.

AI guiding a process is valuable even if it doesn’t replace all the parts of the process.

But the article doesn't even make that claim. The doctors who adjusted her medication were already her care team for the brain tumor.

She said she started logging calories but recognized the carb connection before she logged carbs.

I kept waiting for the payoff where the AI led to something, but it never came.
