Background & analysis
On 2026-11-11 17:00, the AI section of DEV Community published a retrospective titled "Three ways health AI can let you down, and the tests I wrote for each". The author is the developer of Tabibu, a health-information assistant. Drawing on building the product, the author identifies three failure modes through which a health AI can disappoint users: the page simply does not work, the answer sounds more certain than it should, and an emergency goes unnoticed, or a calm question sets off an alarm. For each failure mode the post offers a real example, describes what the author changed, and explains how it is tested. The author also states what each test cannot show. All of the data is the author's own test data.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
