Last time I asked a developer to fix a bug, he charged me $300 to google the api docs..!

But this isn't even about the doctor asking GPT, this is transcribing the video call so the journaling becomes easier and the doctor can spend more time with their patients. A good thing, no?

Doctors are liability lightning rods who've gone through a professional hazing process to join an exclusive club that has massively warped American medicine through its lobbying efforts. Unless you're dealing with a specialist they're often not super competent - that's why doctors are being replaced with nurse practitioners and physicians assistants everywhere (to the point that you often won't ever see an actual doctor at a lot of medical facilities) and usually people are completely oblivious to the fact.

Pharmacists in other countries do a lot of the basic shit doctors in the USA do, with less overhead, for cheaper and with a much faster turnaround. Antibiotics, blood pressure/cholesterol meds, antidepressants and other rubber stamp drugs absolutely do not need to be strongly controlled.

Antibiotics don't need to be strongly controlled?!

No. The transcription part is done by Whisper. After that, GPT summarizes a clinical note which may be truthful - or may have hallucinations just as well.

I'll be happy to do that for like $200 as long as I can use ChatGPT
