✍️ Faulty AI detectors: More students are being accused of using tools like ChatGPT when they didn’t. Like Leigh, who got a zero on her assignment after Turnitin said it was bot-written (paywall link). She appealed, but now records herself working. Others even track their keystrokes to avoid false positives. What a mess.
AI isn’t just stealing jobs, it’s also fighting death
ChatGPT
When people hear “AI,” they think of deepfakes, bogus essays or robots stealing jobs. But there’s something way bigger happening behind the scenes: AI is low-key helping doctors beat diseases that terrify us. Like actually saving lives.
❤️ Heart disease
Still the world’s #1 killer … but AI has entered the chat, and it’s scanning your chest X-rays like Sherlock Holmes in a lab coat.
AI is getting scarily good at spotting early warning signs doctors might miss. A study in Nature Medicine showed AI could detect hidden heart failure risks just from simple chest X-rays, without needing tests.
👉 Ask your doctor about: AI-assisted cardiac imaging or early heart disease screenings.
🧠 Alzheimer’s
In a recent study, researchers used AI to predict Alzheimer’s disease up to seven years before traditional diagnosis methods. Yes, seven years.
👉 Ask your doctor about: Cognitive baseline screenings and AI-enhanced imaging.
🧬 Cancer
AI is helping us find cancer earlier, faster and more accurately. AI-assisted mammograms improved early breast cancer detection by 30% while cutting down false alarms.
👉 Ask your doctor about: AI-supported imaging and therapies.

That’s how much Google wants for the Gemini AI Ultra VIP pass, monthly. You get AI everything: video gen, doc summarizing, Chrome copilots and a personal bot concierge named Mariner that’ll shop online for you. It also includes YouTube Premium and 30TB of storage because apparently, your digital clone needs closet space.
Boost iPhone downloads: When you download multiple apps at once, your iPhone tries to install them all together. That’s fine on fast Wi-Fi, but not great if your connection is spotty. To speed up the one you need, go to App Library > Recently Added > long-press the app > tap Prioritize Download. It’ll go first.
🤖 Fast AI help: You don’t need to leave Chrome to ask Gemini anything. Just type “@” in Chrome’s address bar and select Chat with Gemini. Ask your question, and you’ll be sent to gemini.google.com for your answer. First time using it? You’ll see a quick setup page.
