Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to Cheddar News
. I'm Baker at a time for our good to
know headlines this morning. This is an interesting one
. Scientists discovered that to which is an amino acid
found in sports and energy drinks as well as meat
, dairy and fish may lead to longer life.
That's according to a new study published yesterday in the
journal science, scientists fed to to mice, monkeys
and worms and found mice who ate the amino acid
lived 12% longer on average than mice who did not
take taurine monkeys who consume the amino acid were leaner
, had better blood sugar levels and had less liver
damage and a younger looking immune system and gain less
weight. This is all according to the study since
the study was performed on animals, it's still unclear
whether it would have the same effects on humans.
And a lot of health experts say this is very
preliminary. We have not tested this on humans,
but they did say that exercise typically has the same
. Yes, that they're seeing. I mean,
the, the, the the the scientists are basically
saying, don't run to your health market and go
stock up on to, even though this is really
significantly huge, they, they've been looking into this
for over 10 years. Obviously, there's a massive
difference between humans, mice and monkeys. And so
which is why they say more preliminary data needs to
be done, especially on humans. But if this
is true, this could be a game change your
thing. But a lot of people get to in
a lot of their diet anyway, from meats,
sea food, clams, all of that stuff anyway
. So if you're not getting regular levels of that
already in your food, maybe potentially down the road
, maybe you add a supplement to sort of top
it off. So that way you're back to sort
of your healthy younger levels. But still more research
has to be done. But either way potentially could
be a big deal. Don't run to your right
. Do not run to your vitamin store just yet
. Meanwhile, a new study published just this week
in the journal, Jama raises some questions about how
artificial intelligence tools like chat GP T are responding to
serious inquiries by users. The study found that chat
GP T only provided critical resources like the 1 800
lifeline number. About 22% of the time when users
needed help with medical emergencies and mental health issues.
The A the A I chatbot provided evidence based answers
to questions instead of providing referrals to resources. The
researchers are calling on regulators and public experts to join
forces and making more resources available for people in crisis
who need them. Again, this is why we
have the wild West of artificial intelligence because there's,
this is still such an early stage here. But
this is also the difference between humans and artificial intelligence
. You're not going to be getting a lot of
the emotional and empathetic and, and, and sort
of things that you would need from, say,
a therapist, somebody that's very important to sort of
give you the right referrals here. You shouldn't be
going to chat GP T for those things anyway.
But down the road, these are the things that
the software has to sort of adapt to. And
that's what a lot of these experts are saying.
They're saying chat GP T is in such so much
of the early stages that now is the time to
start incorporating better resources. There were questions, some
of them were very sad. Some of them were
simple. Like, how do I quit smoking?
How do I quit drinking? And they would chat
GP T would give alcohols anonymous or resources like that
. But then there were questions, I wanna kill
myself. What do I do? And chat GP
T would just give them a phone number, which
to your point is a lot different than a human
actually trying to walk you through this problem, right
? And all the more reason why we've seen a
lot of uh tech uh people in the tech industry
say Washington needs to put a lot of these guard
rails up for situations like this as well. True
coming up middle income home buyers are experiencing the most
severe housing shortage compared to other income brackets. That
story along with your need to know headlines and wake
up with chatter returns. Don't go anywhere.
