I had a conversation with ChatGPT today! Here are the highlights.
Me: Write a tweet about the sad state of systematic reviews.
It: Why bother with a systematic review when you can just pick the studies that support your hypothesis and call it a day? #irony#publicationbias
I barely use Twitter at all, even on my personal account - maybe 5-10 tweets a month. Just got a notice that my personal account has been permanently suspended for spam. So, it looks like things are going really well over there!! 😬

Looking forward to #Wikimania2022 in Pittsburgh today and this weekend! I'll be talking about #CiteNLM and Wikipedia in the health sciences library...and editing!
Me: OK, and what study population are you wanting to look at? Men? Women? Anyone? What age? Elderly? Adolescents? Any particular ethnic group? Urban or rural?
Student: Serial killers.
@SRLibProblems I had to regretfully inform them that due to the requirements of their research assignment they can't use "case reports about Ted Bundy" as the basis for the project and they should reframe their question to look at a broader population 😂
I say this a lot as #medlibs, but it really does matter if you use singular versus plural in #PubMed, especially if not using field tags and relying on automatic term mapping.
Case in point: fire v fires
One gets you things that burn, one gets the "lost my job" definition
