Agreed, but not because of the use of technology, but simply the way it's used, and the other technologies used (ie surveillance tech) and bad security practices of the platforms that provide this. There are some specific platforms that try to improve this, but I've spoken to many a doctor that just uses a regular chatgpt subscription. Normally I would cheer at this great equalizer, but chatgpt feels like facebook on steroids on the side of the shady things they do and likely will do, see for a recent example #1068670
Interesting. Let me defend the other side of this.
Have you ever been misdiagnosed by a human doctor? I have, over a decade ago. I experience pain every minute of every hour of every day because of their error and the way I live my life had to be changed because of it. if - which probably means not yet - any technology can reduce errors made by doctors, then I'm a fan.

I really hope that it stays that way!
Even though we're definitely not there yet, I'd wish for everyone (even people I extremely dislike) diagnostic certainty and not having to deal with other humans that you're supposed to trust screwing with your health. The worry is that right now, it's very possible for some overhyped LLM to screw with your health, and that is as bad. Bottom line, this needs to be handled with care.
