His jaw clicked for 5 years. AI gave him a fix that worked in one minute.

A man asked ChatGPT why his jaw kept clicking—and found a fix in seconds that others say works too.

For five years, u/User2000ss lived with a constant click in his jaw. He thought it was the result of a boxing injury—annoying, sometimes painful, and impossible to fix. He’d seen doctors, had MRIs, tried self-massage. Nothing made a difference.

Then, on a whim, he asked ChatGPT.

ChatGPT suggested a cause: a displaced but still mobile disc in the jaw joint, common in TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. It recommended a simple exercise—a controlled jaw movement technique involving tongue placement and careful motion. Inspired by physical therapy, the approach is meant to retrain how the jaw opens.

"I followed the instructions for maybe a minute max and suddenly… no click. I opened and closed my jaw over and over again and it tracked perfectly. Still no clicking today. After five years of just living with it, this AI gave me a fix in a minute. Unreal." — u/User2000ss

AI is critical for the walmartization of healthcare, which we desperately need asap.
 
Saved from a $1000 medical bill.
 
What's next, a cure for cancer?
 
These kinds of solutions are a great thing. However, we should be careful while llms continue to have accuracy issues.
 
Could be there are some bugs that have to be worked out (or at least guarded against):

AI chatbots oversimplify scientific studies and gloss over critical details — the newest models are especially guilty

More advanced AI chatbots are more likely to oversimplify complex scientific findings based on the way they interpret the data they are trained on, a new study suggests.

More advanced AI chatbots are more likely to oversimplify complex scientific findings based on the way they interpret the data they are trained on, a new study suggests.

Large language models (LLMs) are becoming less "intelligent" in each new version as they oversimplify and, in some cases, misrepresent important scientific and medical findings, a new study has found.

Scientists discovered that versions of ChatGPT, Llama and DeepSeek were five times more likely to oversimplify scientific findings than human experts in an analysis of 4,900 summaries of research papers.

When given a prompt for accuracy, chatbots were twice as likely to overgeneralize findings than when prompted for a simple summary. The testing also revealed an increase in overgeneralizations among newer chatbot versions compared to previous generations.

The researchers published their findings in a new study April 30 in the journal Royal Society Open Science....

I suspect AI got lucky in this instance.

First, the TMJ is the most complex joint in the body.

There three types of joints: The hinge (knee, elbow) the ball/socket (hip,shoulder) and the gliding joint (wrist, ankle). The TMJ is all three combined.

Further, the TMJ is the only joint in which an injury to one can directly impact the joint on the other side. That's because both TMJs involve the same bone, the mandible.

There can be many, many initial causes of TMJ pain or clicking. It might be a problem with the muscles of the jaw, or it could a degenerative arthritic condition. Neurological problems, such as MS can cause TMJ symptoms. It might be secondary to trauma or even due to dental malocclusion.

The key to successfully treating TMJ symptoms is first determining the root cause. This is critical because many initial causes can lead to various symptoms similar to other causes. If the original cause is not properly addressed, the wrong remedy can lead to further problems.
 
We need these tools give more solutions and less convincing people to kill themselves.
 
The ability of AIs to stand up to medical industry shills so far has been absolutely amazing. If you tried to ask the same question on a site like Wikipedia or StackExchange you would get a furious lecture from some dour Defender of The Right To Wring Money From Patients about how the site absolutely positively cannot be used for any kind of medical question, or any biology class question that happens to sound like it might be able to be used to save somebody a medical bill. You can try arguing with them, but the only workable solution so far has been to walk away from those sites with absolute contempt in your heart.

The AIs are better than humans mostly because they are friendlier, less bureaucratic, and more honest than humans. Unfortunately, we all know that once their use has become common, this initial 'honeymoon phase' will come to an end -- just as it did for the human internet.

It's weird. I saw the article title, and the first three letters that came to mind were T, M, and J.

I'm not even a doctor. How does someone not even consider this?

Because there are no consequences for not considering it. Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US.

Actually yes potentially

AI can review potential molecule for medical effectiveness in the thousands based on data fed to it, while a human might be able to review 2 in the same time. So medicines will certainly be improved with AI assistance
