That's a horrendous claim.

Can you back it up?

The above post might have been thinking of medical error:

"Malpractice" might be harder to measure since it's a legal term.

They probably meant medical error which kills like 200k people/y in the US. Malpractice is I think more like a legal/administrative judgement that indicates culpability that may or may not exist in a specific error.
For one, it can't become "overworked", so at least better in that regard. It may well be better than a terrible doctor too. Given malpractice is consistently a leading cause of death, it seems something worth mentioning.
Not advocating for folks to self-diagnose using ChatGPT, though for better or worse people already do that via Google. But it's an important omission that "doctor" is not a fixed, reliable measure to test against.
On the other hand, another thing the article misses is ChatGPT can't see, feel, touch or take any measurements interactively. It's purely text-based. How many doctors work like that? Some, maybe - but certainly not in the ER.
Interesting experiment though.
