> My fear is that countless people are already using ChatGPT to medically diagnose themselves rather than see a physician. My fear is that professionals will start to use ChatGPT too liberally to augment or multiply their work in cases like this. The danger here might be like the autopilot problem... i.e The idea of staying alert and focused on the road while counter-intuitively not participating is nearly humanly impossible. If ChatGPT is used as the autopilot of certain professions, things will begin to be missed, even though we know it's highly fallible - it's difficult to vet every single response in detail with a critical eye. One reasonable argument is that for areas severely lacking in human workers the average might be a net positive, but the overall quality will be reduced.
