There are ethical concerns about relying on AI models for medical diagnosis because they might provide incorrect or incomplete information, which can be dangerous. Always best to use AI for support, not decision-making in health.
ChatGPT can provide general information about symptoms and possible conditions, but it cannot replace professional medical advice or diagnosis. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
I tried asking ChatGPT about some symptoms once, and while it gave some possible causes, it also emphasized seeing a doctor. So it's more like an educational tool rather than a diagnostic one.
