61 Doctor Jokes: The 2023 “AI Boom & ChatGPT Diagnosis” Edition

In 2023, medical humor focused on the battle between human expertise and the “Large Language Model.” Doctors were busy explaining that while an AI can pass the medical board exams, it still can’t tell if you’re actually in pain or just really bad at describing your symptoms. It was the year of “The AI Second Opinion” and the great search for the world’s last remaining supply of semaglutide.
