Thats why it provides disclaimers to everything it says medically
- jacquesm 4y agoI don't think you can disclaim your way out of this. Especially not if you end up causing harm and if you say things authoritatively. That makes a huge difference. If they can add a disclaimer they can also say 'Sorry, ChatGPT-4 is not a doctor, consult your doctor'. This of course would harm those who don't have access to doctors but even there you'd need to prove that it does more good than harm before you'd be allowed to put the output out there. Even the most innocuous medicine has to go through a standardized test before it is released to the public. Without proven efficacy it may well be a net negative.
- Madmallard 4y agoThats kinda what it does though. if you phrase it like youre asking for a solution as a patient it says talk to your doctor
- jacquesm 4y agoGreat. But without a license to practice, a concept of truth and a confidence score to go with the output I don't think it should be making any such statements at all.
- Madmallard 4y agoThat line of reasoning sorta would support the claim that webmd and medline and all those sites should just not be accessible to the general population. webmd symptom checker etc.
- jacquesm 4y agoNo, because those don't hold an authoritative sounding personal discussion with you. Chat-GTP behaves like a licensed professional would.
- Madmallard 4y agoI don't think that matters. People will take the information and make conclusions with it in either case.
