> Getting medical info from LLMs is great and can save your life.
No its not - LLMs are not medical experts. Nor are they experts for pretty much anything. They just extrapolate statistically the next token. If you fed them anti-vaxer information, theyd start recommending you to not get vaccinated so as to not obtain autism or something like that. We should not use them as experts on anything, much less so for medical information.
On the other hand, if you want to use them to generate large amounts of text and images, sure go do that. They can do that I guess.
What does being good in searching Internet (I'll let slide the obvious issue of hallucinating URLs) have to do with medical expertise? At all? At least with WebMD the content did not change every time you visited the same page?
What does medical expertise have to do with being able to provide useful information? AI has no expertise.

That indeed was an issue, but I can't remember the last time I've encountered that now that agentic web browsing is everywhere. I guess the cheapest models might still be affected by that?
Blindly trusting medical info from LLMs is idiotic and can kill you.
Pretty much any tool will be dangerous if misused.
