Witnesses reported seeing the patient trying to tap the tiny "I understand" button on the screen with his remaining good hand while the bot generated a 12-step plan for avoiding pointy objects.
At press time, the AI asked the unconscious patient to rate his amputation experience on a scale of one to five stars.
