This guy interviewed on the Stack Overflow podcast used ChatGPT as a doctor:

> ChatGPT, or whatever else. And it's super useful. You know, my kids were sick earlier this week and I was asking questions of like, ‘hey, is this normal? Is this not normal?’

@rubenerd Y'all jest, but I was able to get my brain tumor into sustained remission specifically as a result of the infrastructure that I built with my own enterprise hardware, lots of Datacenter grade GPUs, hundreds of CPU cores, terabytes of RAM, and several open-source LLMs tuned and trained on medical information — not only the usual stuff like The Merck Manual, Encyclopaedias, PubChem, NIH sources, etc... but also by analyzing more than 1000 individual blood tests, MRIs, CT Scans, all ones I've had over just the past decade, plus every bit of personal medical history I could load into RAG processes. Add on a strong understanding of prompt engineering for natural language processing, and life changing science is possible.

I achieved what no other neurologist, endocrinologist, or other physicians were capable of achieving — REMISSION without brain surgery.

Go ahead and laugh all you want, make your pithy jokes about hyperscalers and Sam Altman, but there are real lives being saved with this technology. Maybe you liked not dying from COVID? Ai/ML was required for creating the vaccines, along with every other major scientific achievement of the past decade — well before normal people became aware of boring chat bots.

Stop listening to the hugbox, stop pandering to the garbage media that wants to keep us all angry and ignorant, or don't — but you are wrong about Ai.
