“ChatGPT fixed my 5-year jaw problem in a minute”: Post Viral, Debate Sparks on X again 

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman shares viral Reddit win that doctors missed, sparks debate on AI in healthcare.

Some stories sound too wild to be true until they go viral. Recently, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman shared a Reddit post that’s got the internet buzzing. A user claimed that ChatGPT helped solve a chronic jaw issue they’d been battling for five years in just under a minute.

The user explained how they’d tried everything: visits to ENT specialists, two MRIs, and even a referral to a maxillofacial expert. Still, the jaw clicking, likely caused by an old boxing injury persisted.

Frustrated and desperate, they turned to ChatGPT. And that’s when everything changed.

The AI suggested a likely cause: a slightly displaced but movable jaw disc. It then recommended a specific mouth-opening technique involving tongue placement and symmetry. The user tried it—and voilà, relief after years of struggle.

The post exploded on social media, reigniting a huge conversation around AI in medicine. From curiosity to controversy, the responses were diverse. Some users chimed in with similar experiences:

“You just fixed me. No joke. Thanks a bunch.”
“I learned more about my sleeping problems in 15 minutes with GPT than years of other research and a decade of doctor visits.”
“Same. I was sick for years… Claude gave me test suggestions—two came back positive. I finally got the meds I needed.”

While doctors caution that AI should never replace professional diagnosis, stories like these show how tools like ChatGPT and Claude might one day become powerful allies in personalized care and everyday health questions.

Reid Hoffman shared the story on X (formerly Twitter), noting how moments like these hint at AI’s incredible potential to transform healthcare not replace it, but supplement it in ways never imagined.

So maybe next time you feel stuck, a little AI insight might be worth a try. Don’t skip the doctor entirely, okay?
