AI Wrote This Article – Turned Into Marketing at the End

AI wrote this article and I do not like it due to one point.  The article was great until the sources it used turned out to be more of a marketing slant.  Nothing wrong with that as the AI used was Microsoft’s CoPilot ™  I have used CoPilot quite a bit to do general searches.

The AI module performs well when searching certain subjects such as travel geography, science, etc.  One has to remember that AI pulls from convenient sources and glues the articles together.

Same Search Engine – Two Different Versions

Microsoft Bing Search(c)  returned this search result –  I would not consider this as  an”AI wrote this article” result

Workers’ compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, and disability benefits1. Medical treatment covered by workers compensation includes23:

  • Treatment in a public or private hospital
  • Ambulance services
  • Doctor’s appointments
  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
  • Required surgeries
  • Initial and follow-up consultations with general physicians, and in some cases, specialists
  • Acupuncture treatment

The initial treatment is done either by the employee’s physician of choice or by a physician chosen by the employer or their insurance carrier4. The employer pays for medical care for the work-related injury or illness, either through a workers’ compensation insurance policy or by being self-insured5

What I asked  Workers Compensation medical treatment – CoPilot returned the below passages.

_______________________________________________________________________

Certainly! When it comes to workers’ compensation medical treatment, there are several key points to consider:

  1. Initial Treatment: If you sustain a work-related injury, you’ll receive initial treatment either from your chosen physician (in 29 states) or a physician selected by your employer or their insurance carrier (in 21 states). Ideally, you heal properly, medical bills are covered, and you receive two-thirds of your wages while off the job. However, things don’t always go smoothly.
  2. Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI): This assessment determines when you’ve reached the maximum level of recovery. It’s essential for determining further steps.
  3. Impairment vs. Disability: These terms are often confused. Impairment refers to a medical condition’s severity, while disability relates to how it affects your ability to work.
  4. Exams: Various exams may be required:
      • Independent Medical Examination (IME): Ordered by the insurance company if they disagree with your treating physician’s evaluation.
      • Functional Capacity Exam (FCE): Used to assess your ability to perform specific tasks.
      • Impairment Rating Evaluation (IRE): Determines disability extent.
  5. Nurse Case Managers: These professionals, paid by the insurance company, monitor your care. Be aware that they may prioritize getting you back to work quickly to save costs. If you allow them to attend your appointments, your “medical privilege” with your doctor is compromised1.

Remember, navigating workers’ compensation can be complex, but understanding these aspects will help you advocate for fair treatment. If you need legal assistance, consider reaching out to experienced workers’ compensation lawyers in your area2.

Comparison of The Two Versions – Bing vs. CoPilot

The Bing search was adequate and left five different resources.  The CoPilot added some opinions and only provided two resources in the text.  One was a pure advertisement.

For now, I will let you decide which is better.  Bing Search seems to have provided a better result. In the next two months, I will continue the AI Wrote This Article on a different subject.
