ChatGPT Health

“Even if it does somehow give you the right answer, it cannot perform procedures or prescribe medicine.”

“Even if they say they won't, they will, and there is no telling what they would do with the data itself”

“unregulated, under-studied services, targetting people who might not be able to afford standard medical care”

“If doctors get lazy, complacent, or overworked (!), a "doctor with access to ChatGPT Health" may be functionally equivalent to "just ChatGPT Health" in some cases.”

“How about we allow ChatGPT to be used alongside human MD diagnosis?”

“Which is exactly why the AI, at least the ones of today, should never be used beyond the level of (trusted or not) advisor.”

“They were pretty good, I also used ChatGPT health that OpenAI released few days back which is said to be more grounded.”

“it is an amazing tool that has made a big impact on my family”

“What it specifically helps me to understand are things like: probable outcomes, symptoms in greater detail”

“A trip to the library or a consult with a professional would've given you the same or better results.”

“ChatGPT Health not being launched in EU is because OpenAI themselves realized it abuses peoples privacy.”

“they do give false information. Perhaps of greater concern is their confirmation bias.”

“Base product no longer answers everything, now I need to pay an add-on fee to talk about health related things?”

“the AI-generated response might direct the doctor's thinking subconsciously in unpredictable ways”

“your health data sits outside HIPAA protection, in the hands of a company facing massive financial pressure to monetize everything it can.”

“These are failures to provide useful advice over and above what could be gotten from a professional.”

“So your failure cases are now "it agreed with the doctor" and "the patient correctly identified bad advice."”

“it is just chatgpt tuned to give the advice that gives the lowest possible liability to openai”

“They are building the most comprehensive data profile on their users and people are paying them to do it.”

“your health data sits outside HIPAA protection, in the hands of a company facing massive financial pressure to monetize everything it can”

“People are going to choose asking ChatGPT instead of their local doctor who is not only cheaper(!!!) but also actually educated.”

“Now I have a tool to double check what doctor has recommended.”

“ChatGPT is very good for providing you with new avenues to follow-up upon”

“represents a significant and responsible step in this direction, introducing isolation, enhanced protections, and physician-informed evaluation”

“there are already enough indications in this thread alone that it is already very useful to many”

“It can be just as useless as a doctor who prescribes some med to mask your symptoms”

“This feels potentially very valuable and a nice way of working around issues”

“patients can use it to improve communication with their doctors”

“It's nice when you've got an infant and are a new parent and everything is terrifying”

“ChatGPT's target market is very clearly the average consumer who may not necessarily care what they do with their data.”

“Good words at a high level, but it would really help do have some detail about the "dedicated space with added protections"”

“the integration with data streams and specialized memory is interesting”

“LLMs are going to likely to provide health advice that's as good but likely better than any of those alternatives.”

“Based on the reports of various failings on the safety front, I sure hope users will take that into account”

“any actionable advice requires actual research from reliable sources afterwards”

“could be a very good tool to have”

“A great opportunity to improve the status quo here.”

“There's no way to design it to minimise misinformation, the "ground truth" problem of LLM alignment is still unsolved.”

“Interestingly ChatGPT advised caution ;) In short it said”

“This reads like desperation to get a headline more than an actual product, especially when half the links don't even work”
