Last week, I wrote about whether you should use AI for medical advice.

Yesterday, I came across some research from NP Digital that caught my eye. Its opening line talks about how Google's AI Overviews have told people that cats can teleport, and eating rocks is good for your health.

We're doomed, aren't we?

The survey also ranked the major AI platforms for accuracy. They tested 600 prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Copilot. The same set of queries were used for each in five categories. Human reviewers graded each response for accuracy and completeness.

ChatGPT came out on top, but I don't know if I’d call it a “win” because it was fully correct only 60% of the time. Copilot interestingly was at the bottom, next to Grok.

Fun fact, Copilot is the platform all B.C. government employees are using. Make of that what you will.

Today’s feature digs into the cost of refugee health care, and whether that spending is fair to Canadians without comparable coverage. The Conservatives don’t think so. The Liberals do.

Like always, after reading, don’t forget to vote in our poll.

Enjoy your weekend!

Nearly 6 million Canadians say they currently lack a family doctor. Wait lists for specialists are the longest recorded since 1993. About 50 per cent of Canadians now turn to AI for medical advice.

Refugee claimants, on the other hand, receive access to a suite of supplemental benefits, including dental, vision, and mental health care. That difference is no joke.

Canada has rightfully come to the aid of people fleeing war-torn countries like Afghanistan, Sudan and Ukraine.

Any suggestion of reducing or eliminating coverage for refugee claimants goes against the point of providing people who are fleeing persecution a safe haven. Would you invite someone to stay at your house, but then make them sleep on a cold, hard floor?
