I have seen some good use cases for GPT but this one in particular (the Tweet) is not a good example.
1) She was already correctly diagnosed with the first issue (babesiosis), which causes anemia.
2) As a result of the babesiosis, she developed a secondary complication (immune disorder), which worsened the anemia. Note that this can also occur as a standalone disease, which is actually the google result you're getting.
3) You would have had to google "secondary complications causing anemia as a result of canine babesiosis", and at this point, google stops helping you. Not that I would have known to google that anyway.

Right there on the page: IMHA. If you add just a couple keywords from the large input, you likewise get more direct IMHA results.
As a guy who knows nothing about dogs, Chatgpt seemed to zero in on this 10x better than that very long VCA page.
Also this ignores my original comment where I just typed the keywords from the vet notes and got IMHA right on the first result.
That'd be about 100x faster using Google.
Here [1] it’s actually the author who rules that out himself based on prior knowledge and the fact that the situation didn’t get better after the first diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Looking for a secondary cause/explanation is what drives him to ask the question in the first place. GPT says here are some “general information on…”.

Edit:
Daniel, I've edited my reply. Of course it entirely depends on how you read the comment, I think pointing out obvious virality-bait for what it is is maybe the definition of good behavior and I see worse comments go unflagged daily.
I don't appreciate being called an asshole, especially when the rules for not being an asshole are being cited.
Please don't be an asshole on HN, regardless of how right you are or feel you are. Being right (assuming you are) actually makes it worse.
If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
Sure, if you know exactly what you want to google for, you can google it. But that requires you to interpret all the information and piece together a theory, whereas with GPT I just stated all the facts and received accurate (in this case) info back
