I want to understand whether ChatGPT can be used to diagnose diseases accurately. Can it replace a doctor or is it just for general information? What are the limitations and risks if someone tries to use ChatGPT for medical diagnosis?

Using ChatGPT for diagnosis is risky because it might misunderstand symptoms or provide incorrect info, which could delay proper treatment.
Are there any AI tools approved for medical diagnosis? I heard some specialized AI systems are being tested clinically.
ChatGPT is a powerful language model but it is not designed to diagnose diseases. It can provide information based on input but cannot replace professional medical advice.
I've used ChatGPT to understand some medical terms my doctor mentioned, and that helped me ask better questions during appointments.
Some people think AI can replace doctors, but right now, AI like ChatGPT lacks clinical judgment and empathy needed for diagnosis.
