My doctor regularly Google's my symptoms while I'm sitting in the room so IDK if ChatGPT is worse.
To be blunt, if you were to train a gpt model on all the current medical information available, it actually might be a good starting point for most doctors to "collaborate" with and formulate theories on more difficult cases.
However, since GPT and list other LLMs are trained on information generally available on the Internet, they're not going to come up with anything that could possibly be trusted in any field where bad decisions could mean life or death.
It's basically advanced text prediction based on whatever intent statements you made in your prompt. So if you can feed a bunch of symptoms into a machine learning model, that's been trained on the sum of all relatively recent medical texts and case work, that would have some relevant results.
Since chat gpt isn't that, heh. I doubt it would even help someone pass medical school, quite bluntly... Apart from the hiring boiler plate stuff and filling in words and sentences that just take time to write out and don't contribute in any significant manner to the content of their work. (Eg, introduction paragraphs, sentence structures for entering information and conclusions... Etc).
There's a lot of good, time saving stuff ML, in its current form, can do, diagnostics, not so much.
Yeah people think all doctors were straight A students thru med school. Ya'd never know if the one treating you right now was a C- muthafucka.
You also don't know if the guy that got an A was cheating
You also need to realize school ratings does not always represent person's intelligence. Some straight As have turned into nutcases who scream about autism injections
Med school isn’t easy bro
That C+ doctor retained more knowledge and has a better intuition that the chatGPT doctor
To be fair, just passing med school, even by the slimmest margins, is no easy feat. The idea that a doctor who got D- grades is somehow bad is wrong because they're still good enough to pass an extremely difficult program.
Yeah, I'd be more comfortable with an A+ doctor, but a doctor still graduated from med school, you know?
If you could pick between two doctors, one A student and one D student, you know you'd pick the A student.
But what if the A student was from some sketchy barely accredited medical school and the D student was from Johns Hopkins.
Who do you pick now?
What if that straight A student from Johns Hopkins develops an opioid addiction and becomes an insufferable asshole but can still manages to oversee the Differential Diagnosis Department?
Does he have a cane that I can kick out from under him when he acts afool?
I'm cured AND I get told to face my scary inner issues.
hell yeah
I'll take a Dr with enough real world experience to have good intuition over a recently graduated straight-A doc any day.
But this is why doctors have like 8 years of practical, hands on experience with oversight before they're allowed to actually practice solo in most places. They spend more time learning hands on, than they do in class.
Even a straight-C "level" doctor should be more than prepared to handle whatever you their their way. Even if they don't know, they probably know how to find out, or who to ask.
Haven't you heard that one 'joke,' what do you call the student that passed with the lowest grade in med school?....Doctor.

9001 kg of bananas to be taken rectally
Hmmm... would that be enough to cause radioactive effects if you someone condensed them enough to actually fit?
You'd die of hypochloremia long before thatb
now that's what i call a bananza
Peeled or unpeeled?
Jokes on Future Doctor because we're closing down the hospitals, cancelling the research grants, and taking all the sick people to jail for the crime of being unemployable.
We're so cooked.
Take 1 moment to imagine the enshitification of medicine.
We're gonna long for the days of sawbones and "you got ghosts in your blood. You should do cocaine about it"
Good news. The MCAT, USMLE, and board exams are all done in a proctored environment with no electronic devices allowed. Hell, you cant even take a calculator in for the MCAT, so you better be cool with doing Arrhenius Equations by hand.
As far as doctors go you might be able to get through your premed degree with ChatGPT, but you're not going to get 500+ on your MCAT and you certainly aren't passing Step 1 of the USMLE.
