ChatGPT said I had pellet injuries, Safdarjung Hospital backed it, says scribe with 30 wounds
A journalist injured during the July 20 protest in Delhi confirmed his pellet wounds after consulting ChatGPT and receiving a medical diagnosis at Safdarjung Hospital. The report highlights the ongoing controversy regarding the use of pellet guns by the Rapid Action Force against protesters.
Why it matters
The use of AI tools for preliminary medical assessment and the debate over police crowd-control tactics are critical issues in modern civil rights and technology reporting.
A 28-year-old journalist with Outlook , among those injured in the July 20 protest, said knew something was off when he saw an officer deployed on law and order duty at the Statesman House near Jantar Mantar fire his weapon. “There was a lot of crowd, and I saw an officer lift a gun. People started running around and dispersing. I was conscious, but there was a lot of pain,” said the journalist who did not wish to be identified.
Later that day, he got a tetanus shot but realised the severity of the injuries only the next day.
