If ChatGPT wants to replace health professionals, it should be held liable for the “advice” it gives.
In 51.6% of cases where someone needed to go to the hospital immediately, the platform said stay home or book a routine medical appointment
So it performs slightly worse than a coin flip…
In one of the simulations, eight times out of 10 (84%), the platform sent a suffocating woman to a future appointment she would not live to see
Holy shit! That’s a lot worse than a coin flip.
Meanwhile, 64.8% of completely safe individuals were told to seek immediate medical care
And there are real people out there that actually trust this tech to make real decisions for them. It literally performs significantly worse than a coin flip both with regards to false positives and false negatives. You are literally better off flipping a coin or throwing a dice than asking this thing what to do.
It is truly horrifying when you drill into the numbers.
I can see that it MIGHT be useful as a tool for medical professionals, but exposing it to the public is an insane risk.
You’re even better off by doing the opposite of what chatgpt tells you to do.

For the love of gawd stop putting the bullshit machine in everything.
How about a $10 billion fine for OpenAI for every mistake? Make it hurt. Make them pull the plug on this travesty.
Not likely under fascism or oligarchy, you need a functional legislature and judiciary for that sort of justice.
I honestly don’t get why OpenAI and Apple seem to be trying to explicitly market LLMs as being capable of giving medical advice. It’s so obviously a lawsuit waiting to happen
It’s because they think they’ll win those lawsuits. They may be right. They’re gonna pull an Alex jones: “oh come on, it’s a bit! Everyone knows it’s bullshit!”
“Doctor, I have severe chest pain. Do I have a heart attack?”
“Computer says no.”
