At that point, you've at least consulted with a medically trained professional who's licensed (which they have to regularly renew), has to complete annual CME, can be disciplined by a medical board, carries medical malpractice insurance, etc.

There should be requirements for any AI tool provider in the medical space to go through something like an IRB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_review_board) given they're fundamentally conducting medical experimentation on patients, and patients should have to consent to its use.
