Other commenters take offense at your comment "doctors are done" and point to doctors doing physical things.
GPT can already write robot control and machine vision code (poorly).
The real questions are harder.
For example, what about patients who lie or are too stupid to answer correctly? They can still be helped by a real human doctor, but GPT would be clueless.
Another angle: we didn't have radiation sickness, HIV, popcorn lung, or computer induced carpal tunnel 100 years ago. Will GPT be clever enough to diagnose radically new problems?
What happens when old diagnoses and treatments are superseded? Will it tell you you need a lobotomy when you instead need antipsychotics?
GPT right now will happily roleplay a lawyer who cites legal precedent that was superseded 40 years ago.

I can only speak from my work in the emergency department, but this is a leading cause of misdiagnosis among (human) doctors. In fact, a lot of diagnosis relies on the patient’s story, and if they lie, you can’t feasibly perform every single test on them to figure out what’s actually wrong or why.
- gymbeaux 3y agoNo study I am aware of has shown a statistically-significant causal relationship between computer usage and development of CTS. I saw 3 orthopedic surgeons last year and all said I had CTS. I gave the same info to ChatGPT and it said Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I don’t have CTS. When the docs realized this, their answers were “I dunno, good luck…”
