I think this is the wording I have beef with: “DoctorGPT is a Large Language Model that can pass the US Medical Licensing Exam. This is an open-source project with a mission to provide everyone their own private doctor.” The “provide everyone their own private doctor” part definitely makes it sound like it can replace a doctor.

I’m just worried about the combination of medical misinformation and the people who don’t understand how LLMs work who will take everything a LLM spits out as truth. There are already a ton of examples in the news of people who really don’t understand how they work (like that one professor who failed an entire class because ChatGPT told him that all the papers that the class wrote were plagiarized.) We also just saw how much harm can be done with medical misinformation with COVID.

Maybe I’m just being pessimistic and paranoid, but god am I scared of how things could cause people to inadvertently harm themselves and the people around them.
