I mean, there are people who replace their human doctor with Chat GPT to diagnose them due to it being “cheaper than seeing a doctor” but comes with huge caveats (like unverified info, possible hoaxes, misleading tips, AI hallucinations, certain illnesses have multiple stages such as cancer) basically the same crap with “Dr Google” before Gemini existed ("people googling their symptoms relying on search engine to diagnose them).

I don’t rely on LLMs/AIs for anything.
This reads more like “I have an opinion and want to hear people agree with me” than an actual question.
If it is a genuine question then the way it’s framed means you’re less likely for the people who would answer “yes” to actually reply. Well, the ones still able to do so despite the terrible medical advice they’ve been getting, anyway.
oh fuck no!
I’ll look at webmd or one of the other medical sites and I read medical journals and that’s about it. i have a doctor that I can ask questions of and he or his staff will answer though their web portal if necessary
I do not use AI in my personal life at all (unless some program I use jams it in somewhere and I haven’t noticed yet to disable it or discontinue use).
If I have medical concerns, I talk to my doctor. If I search anything before/after, I only do so on actual reputable sites (e.g. mayo clinic, etc.)
About as much as WebMD or other sites online. It’s aggregating data and maybe hallucinates sometimes. I don’t use it for things that are very serious or edge cases, and whatever results I do get I don’t take as gospel. Just another resource like all other online resources.
No.
AI can be superior to medical doctors in some areas when used for the right purposes / prompted in the right way, that’s correct.
But I am not in the position nor competent enough to do either.I do use it to diagnose the symptoms that my house plants show, though.
Waiting for the time AI tells you that you’re fern has chlamydia.
