    Tai chi and qigong are longstanding tools in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) toolbox. They have been

used for centuries to treat a wide variety of diseases and ailments. Whereas western medicine places its

primary focus on the treatment of existing disease, Chinese medicine places more emphasis on prevention.

Both tai chi and qigong build up and strengthen the body’s natural immune system, which helps to prevent

the onset of disease and other ailments and also helps to treat the symptoms of patients who have already

contracted an illness. In recent years, western medicine has started to pay more attention to tai chi and

qigong. Many western medical studies have incorporated the practice of these two Chinese tools into their

analysis and treatment, generally as supplements to traditional western medicine. A relatively new tool of

western medicine has been the introduction of the use of artificial intelligence to aid in research as well as

the treatment of various maladies. The present article adds to these two bodies of literature. The focus is on

finding medical studies that have incorporated artificial intelligence, using two popular chatbots – Copilot

and Gab AI – in an attempt to determine which bot provides better information. The test topic is lung cancer.

The study found that both bots provided useful information, but that Copilot produced more and better

information. This finding will be useful for medical scholars who want to incorporate the use of artificial

intelligence into their studies but may not know where to start. This study may be replicated to examine other

ailments and diseases as well as medical procedures and the management of medical practices.
