Theoretically something like BioMedLM and/or a vector search over clinical research and/or GPT-4 with cited sources etc. could be useful in some diagnostic circumstances to at least give doctors ideas, right?
What he is talking about here is just an incredibly common scenario that the doctor and everyone is already very familiar with. Which is basically delaying the inevitable for people who are in some ways already gone.
Also my understanding is that the ChatGPT API does have some level of privacy now although maybe not compliant with the privacy laws which seems somewhat burdensome on the entire medical industry (overcompensating in some detrimental ways).
It seems like the fundamental problem is aging. Maybe a leading edge LLM approach can help keep people up to speed on aging research. Although probably that's pushing it because you would need to get very deep into mitochondrial damage or whatever.

Anything is possible, but consider this doctor's review of ChatGPT's diagonistic output: > ChatGPT works fairly well as a diagnostic assistant — but only if you feed it perfect information, and the actual patient has a classic presentation, which is rarely the case. (And you don’t mind a 50% success rate that often misses life-threatening conditions.) For any new technology to be useful, it needs to do more than just work; it must be significantly more productive than the alternative.
