Any competent doctor is aware that patients are likely to misdescribe things. If you walk in and say your appendix hurts, they absolutely should try to clarify that rather than just assuming you have appendicitis.
Say you have bladder pain and chatgpt tells you that is a common indicator of appendicitis. If you go to the doctor and tell them you think you have appendicitis, they will think you are saying your appendix hurts and look for causes of pain in that region. They will not look for bladder-related pain, because you did not tell them what hurts.
Extrapolate that to all the possibilities for all conditions- something that the system is not equipped for. Doctors do not know that bladder pain is a possible indicator of appendicitis because of experience or logic; they know because it is part of their education because the system has learned that over time. The system does not account for people filtering their symptoms through chatgpt.
Further, it's still bad. It still increases the permutations the doctor is required to consider for no reason. Doctors make mistakes- they make mistakes often. Knowing a bit of medicine can be very helpful for patients. Weaponizing them with a predictive text machine is not the same thing.
