Your instinct is correct, and in a lot of cases it's true. However, I've heard from enough doctors by now (a cardiologist, psychiatrist, and epidemiologist/former physician) that they use medical LLMs and find them extremely helpful, mostly as a way to either bring up knowledge they'd forgotten about or as a way to learn something new and then verify it. I'm extremely skeptical about LLMs in general and the connection to Gell-Mann Amnesia is apt, but I wouldn't necessarily write them off completely like that. There are experts using the models that find them genuinely helpful in their field.

Probably this is the point, and it's a point that has been brought up a lot of times in the past, maybe less in recent times: you need to know the things you're applying an LLM to. In this way, you can keep the good outputs while having the expertise to discard the bad ones.
