There are no health issues that anyone should ever be using Chat GPT for - the hallucinations are very real, and often severe. Not that you should be googling your symptoms either - there’s a reason we put medical folks through more than a few minutes of training.

LLMs are absolutely worthless for medical information.

I’ve gone to multiple doctors for my problems and most of them have only made it worse. Most doctors I’ve met get dumbfounded when the problem is anything more complex than a straightforward case.

And I say this as someone married into a family of doctors.

chatgpt gives you initial hint/direction, and then you can research specifics by finding actual information in search engine and see if it is hallucinated or not.

I wouldn't trust them with my life, but out of curiosity I did put some of my own medical notes into 3.5 a few weeks back.

It said basically the same thing as the actual doctor.
