When DEOHS faculty Dr. Gary Franklin asked a chatbot for info on outcomes of a specific medical procedure, the bot gave an answer that cited two medical studies, neither of which existed.

Taking a stand that we aren’t doing the #nlproc tag here. It’s #nlp. We used #nlproc because a decade ago the #nlp tag was full of sleazy scammers selling guides for hypnotizing women into sleeping with you. But guess what? We won. All the sleazy scammers are doing natural language processing now.
