I use AI to explain symptoms and medical words, but I know it can be wrong. Where do you draw the line?

I use it to explain medical terms from lab results or discharge papers in plain English. Then I verify with official sources or my clinician. That feels like a safer use.

The danger is confidence. It can sound calm and certain even when it is missing context. For anything serious, new or worsening, I would rather call a real professional.

AI is useful for organizing questions before an appointment. I ask it to summarize my symptoms and suggest what to ask the doctor. I do not use it to diagnose myself.
