Or it's a placebo effect. And if it didn't work out and made you worse or, god forbid, the advice caused you to get seriously injured, then what? ChatGPT won't take any responsibility. I have so many issues with our current health system but an alternative is not an unreliable search tool that takes no responsibility for the information it provides.

on a similar vein, I have recurring back issues due to a spinal issue. I gave the issue to ChatGpT and it gave me almost all of the exercise I had been given years ago by a chiropractor. It's nowhere near a replacement for having someone coach me through movements though.

> And if it didn't work out and made you worse or, god forbid, the advice caused you to get seriously injured, then what? ChatGPT won't take any responsibility. Realistically in 99% of actual cases where this happens due to human medical advice, the humans too won't take any responsibility.

  A doctor is medically and legally responsible for the guidance they give patients. Are there cases where they give bad advice and avoid taking responsibility? Of course, as is the case with lawyers, engineers, etc., but there are standards they must meet, laws they must follow, and most importantly, consequences for not doing so. This has zero responsibility, not some theoretical, "it may try to shirk responsibility" or "many people report it not taking responsibility", it by default takes no responsibility.

    I care about the real world, not about theory. In theory, 99% of bad advice by doctors doesn't have any consequences for them. And that's being extremely conservative, in reality it's more like 0.01%, where an actual death can be directly attributed.

      In the real world 100% of bad advice from ai doesn't have any consequences for the ai companies.

You always have to use critical thinking, listen to your body, and get advice from trainers in the trenches. As I mentioned, I did all of those things :)
