I developed water on my left elbow. It’s a painless but strange symptom. From a search on Google, I discovered that it was actually “olecranon bursitis”: bursa, or lubricating SAC, is somehow irritated or lit on the elbow and accumulated fluid. I try to see my doctor about this, but I do not rush because it does not create any problems. In the meantime, I am following the web advice to freeze it several times a day and let go of the elbow. For now, this means that there is no upper body training. Fortunately, I can still get into cycling.
I just found out about the new AI research tool that is part of Google’s twin called “Deep Research”. Use if the launch is twin and change the type of model to “1.5 Pro with deep research”. This usually requires a paid subscription, but you can try it for free (I recently got Chromebook, and a one -year subscription on Gemini Advanced) is included). I tried this about topics of interest that I already knew about and was impressed with the results. So I thought this would be another nice test case. I enrolled in the query “Olecranon Bursitis”. He cited 23 websites he intended to search as his “research plan”:
I could edit a plan to add other web sites to the search, but I just hit the “Start Research”, and in a few minutes he came back with the report, which I saved for my own drive, and you can read here. He explained what the situation was, the symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment told me, and they gave me a list of documents in their area that specialized in it. All quite useful. This is a pretty simple example, so I could get similar results without AI on medical websites, then Googling “Olecranon Bursitis Specialist near me.” But I liked that he took out a summary from the crowd. I tried this on more complex topics that would take longer to look for a hand and I discovered that the report was a good start, which I could follow, as desired, asking some of these relationships.
