AI Simulation of the Personal Experience of Mind-Sets for Illness: The Case of Cancer

AI (ChatGPT 3.5) was programmed to simulate the mind of the cancer sufferer with regard to pain.Three simulations emerged from the Idea Coach feature of the Mind Genomics platform, BimiLeap.com.The first simulation allowed the user to overhear discussions among an oncologist, an analyst from an insurance company, an IT specialist in medical applications, the patient's family, and the patient.The second simulation allowed the user to create three different mind-sets regarding post-procedure pain for the cancer sufferer: Survivor, Fighter, and Realist, respectively.The third simulation instructed the AI to create and answer questions about the mind-set, with comments from a doctor about each answer, and a prognosis over the next five years.The paper shows the ease with which AI can put a "human face" on the issue of cancer, and in turn become a tool for teaching medical students, as well as for working with cancer patients as it provides a better understanding of their condition.
