Recently, I found myself questioning the accuracy of a diagnosis provided by a doctor I visited. Surprisingly, an AI seemed to offer a more insightful assessment. However, I understand the importance of not solely relying on AI-generated information. With that in mind, I’m eager to discover a reputable online platform where I can seek medical advice. Ideally, I hope to find a community where I can obtain multiple opinions to make a more informed decision about my health. If anyone could recommend such a site, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Replace the word AI with “fancy autocomplete” and see how comfortable you feel with its diagnosis.

    That’s effectively what you’ve done. How see another doctor for a second opinion if you’re concerned; this isn’t something to leave to the internet.

      Comparing current LLMs with autocomplete is stupid. An autocomplete can’t pass law or biology exams in the 90th percentile like GTP-4 can.

        Actually, by your reasoning, an autocomplete can pass law or biology exams because that’s all that GPT is. It’s a very fancy autocomplete, but it doesn’t know anything. It is not an AGI. It is a limited tool designed to generate text in response to a prompt: a very fancy autocomplete, but an autocomplete nonetheless.
