The power of AI.

Long story short, AI initially pushed back on the ridiculous idea that drinking your own piss was a cure all, then these users figured out that adding words like ‘esoteric’ to their prompts let them direct AI to tell them what they wanted to hear.

Tbh article was too gross for me to finish. That’s all you get from me for a summary.

That doesn't sound right. We'd be perpetually bacteremic if that were the case.

Seems there's a paper on this (doi 10.1038/s41564-023-01350-w) that showed that 84% of people don't have bacteria in their blood. Authors hypothesized based on the detected bacteria that the remaining 16% were likely temporary colonizations and not permanent.

So for the most part, blood appears to be sterile with some possibility of temporary low level bacteremia
