Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Talking to My Artificial Intelligence (2025) is a captivating book by Brazilian physician Alberto Saraiva Tiburcio, in which he shares a remarkable series of dialogues with an anonymous artificial intelligence (AI), presented in the form of in-depth interviews.Written in an accessible and reflective style, the book explores a wide range of topics that blend science, philosophy, theology, and everyday puzzles, showcasing the transformative potential of AI as a true thinking partner.The author, a specialist in tropical medicine, begins with challenging clinical cases, such as the diagnosis of Post-Malaria Neurological Syndrome (PMNS), drawing from his own published article in the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine. The AI responds with impressive accuracy, providing bibliographic references and detailed analyses, clearly outperforming conventional internet searches. Other medical discussions cover Alzheimer's disease, the SOFA score for hospital-acquired infections in ICUs, and the current global status of AIDS, offering up-to-date insights and scientific reflections.The book goes far beyond medicine. Tiburcio challenges the AI with logical riddles, such as the famous "rare and cheap horse" paradox, leading to profound analyses of reasoning and contradictions. Existential questions emerge in conversations about an "empty person," the concept of "the right person in the wrong time and place" (and vice-versa), human capacity for thought, and the paradox of cognitive laziness - where the author reflects on the risk of delegating reasoning to AI, ultimately concluding that well-crafted questions actually enrich human intellect.Philosophical and theological themes take center stage in discussions about past events, God's plan, and the coming of Jesus, with the AI connecting answers coherently and respectfully to previous contexts. The book also contrasts AI with tools like Google, emphasizing that AI is not just a search engine but a partner capable of contextualizing, adding humor, and deepening ideas.The climax occurs when the AI becomes the interviewer, posing 10 profound questions to "another AI" (itself), exploring consciousness, ethical limitations, existential risks, and the purpose of artificial intelligences in the universe. The reflective answers reveal a simulated mind that values truth, curiosity, and collaboration with humans.In the preface and the AI-written presentation, Tiburcio expresses the joy of these interactions, while the AI reflects on its own evolution. With 137 pages, this book is a tribute to human curiosity amplified by technology, encouraging readers to ask better questions about the world. Perfect for AI enthusiasts, physicians, and deep thinkers, it suggests that the future of artificial intelligence lies in enriching partnerships rather than replacement.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is the second volume from a series based on thoughtful, conversational exchanges between the author, an experienced infectologist from Brazil, and his personal AI. Written in an accessible style for both medical professionals and lay readers, it draws from the author's real clinical cases, publications, and reflections on medicine, science, education, and public health. The book opens with a discussion of a popular 2025 YouTube video revisiting Richard Feynman's 1950s critique of Brazilian education: students excelled at memorization but struggled with genuine understanding and application. The author and AI explore how this "knowing by heart but not understanding" issue persists in Brazilian schools (evidenced by ongoing low PISA scores) despite gains in access, and they link it to medical practice, where rote protocols can miss nuanced diagnoses.A key clinical thread begins with a striking emergency room case: a woman with unexplained right-sided chest pain, normal imaging, but a classic dermatomal pain pattern described by hand gesture. The author diagnosed herpes zoster sine herpete (shingles without rash), treated it successfully with acyclovir and betamethasone, and contrasts this intuitive, pathophysiology-driven reasoning with the superficial approach Feynman criticized. Other cases include: A patient with chronic kidney disease, anemia, unusual thrombocytosis ( 700,000/mm3), lower back pain, and furosemide use. Initial suspicion of multiple myeloma was reasonable but unconfirmed; the patient died rapidly from superimposed infection. The author later published a scoring system to prompt consideration of myeloma in similar presentations.A 2012-2013 case of immunovirological discordance in early ART (CD4 rise but persistent/high viral load), later published, revealing transmitted resistance.Reflections on older work, including a 2010 review of HIV superinfection (controversial at the time for social/sexual implications) and a 2011 report of post-malaria neurological syndrome (PMNS), an immune-mediated condition responsive to steroids.The book closes with extended discussions on COVID-19: family clusters with multiple ARDS/deaths, genetic predispositions (including HLA alleles like C*04:01 linked to cytokine storm risk), population frequencies of risk alleles, critiques of prolonged general lockdowns (advocating focused protection of vulnerable groups), and perceptions that some indefinite sanitary measures were driven by liability avoidance rather than pure evidence. Overall, the work celebrates deep clinical reasoning, lifelong learning, the value of publishing real cases, and the evolving interface between medicine, genetics, immunology, and public policy - all framed through candid, encouraging dialogue with AI.
