The story behind the toon

What happened: Doctors use AI to help find problems. AI answered lung questions without seeing the lung scans! AI might be 'guessing' from text, not truly 'seeing' problems. Even secret patient data didn't stop this 'shortcut' problem.

This Neural Toon is based on the story “Automated Report-Derived Oncology VQA Benchmark for Evaluating Vision-Language Models on 3D Medical Imaging”.
