I read this post with my wife (medical doctor) and we agreed that this breathless post missed the mark a bit. ChatGPT gave exactly the advice from a Google search for low platelets and rash. A call to any doctor, nurse practitioner or urgent care would have resulted in the same outcome with arguably more trust. The fact that the author trusted ChatGPT more for some reason (AI hype?) seems immaterial. The hyperbole of statements like a minor cut with low platelets = death or having "no platelets" (both false) solidified it - hype over substance.
