I like how they chose a picture of a brain for the article about a body part that humans don't have

It was about a part of the brain.

From the article

One glaring error proved so persuasive that it took over a year to be caught. In their May 2024 research paper introducing a healthcare AI model, dubbed Med-Gemini, Google researchers showed off the AI analyzing brain scans from the radiology lab for various conditions. It identified an "old left basilar ganglia infarct," referring to a purported part of the brain — "basilar ganglia" — that simply doesn't exist in the human body.

Don't worry they'll only force the broken healthcare AI on the working class, trust funders will still get to see a doctor
