Ok, but are you familiar with the quality of care that most people are currently receiving?

Not to mention that (sooner than later if I had to guess) many doctors will be using LLMs or already are using AI & Ml in some capacity in their work, at least in the research front.
I do agree though that the level of care many people can access is deeply depressing.

> to overall "provide everyone their own private doctor" as if the opinion of this AI model can be trusted not to hallucinate or regurgitate harmful medical advice.
You're taking that sentence out of context. It very clearly says its their mission and it's a mission statement.
Would you apply that same reaction to SpaceX's mission statement?
> MAKING HUMANITY MULTIPLANETARY
Would you say "as if the technology of these spaceships can be trusted not to explode"?
It is quite reckless to have such extraordinary claims of which this LLM can allegedly "pass the US Medical Licensing Exam" and to overall "provide everyone their own private doctor" as if the opinion of this AI model can be trusted not to hallucinate or regurgitate harmful medical advice.
Even if it does, a black-box AI product using a deep neural network is totally unsuitable and even borderline dangerous for use for medical advice or any related use-case because of the extreme lack of explainability when it hallucinates or generates nonsense.
I think the author needs a massive disclaimer to mention that obvious unavoidable risk for this AI model and to highlight that this is for 'entertainment purposes not to be used in production and to use at your own risk.'
