Whether hypochondriacs exist really has no bearing on how people feel about their interaction with the medical system.
And it's pretty clear that for many people, they don't feel like their needs are being met.

It has a lot to do with whether "ChatGPT is an automated confirmation bias machine for hypochondriacs" is a valid worry or something that should disqualify you from being a medial professional dealing with patients.

I'd say that people who are accused of hypochondria reliably have anxiety. They don't reliably have imagined illness.
Especially the people that will read about diseases and get anxious they have them, and while you can validly say they have anxiety issues they don't have whatever they just read about 99% of the time.
Even if there's a real disease of some sort, you don't want to diagnose with the latest guess in someone that keeps guessing different things. Their treatment needs improvement, but confirmation bias is not how you do it.
