> How is that giving medical advice? that's a mission statement.

As a mission statement for a software project, it very clearly indicates an intent to have the software act as a doctor.

> If my mission statement is to provide everyone with a private lawyer, then is that giving lawful advice?

If you have a software project with that as your mission statement, then its a pretty good indication you are aiming at unlicensed practice of law (which involves “legal advice” but exactly not, despite “legal” and “lawful” in other circumstances being synonymous, “lawful advice”.)

Yes, "legal" was the word I was looking for!

I do understand that interpretation. However, the mission statement seems vague enough since there are many ways to achieve that said mission statement. Not saying it's good as it currently is, but trying to understand how that mission statement equated to giving medical advice.

Let's say that intent is true, is the intent the same as actually providing the medical/legal advice in this case?

It’s called “DoctorGPT”. The mission in its mission statement is to, “to provide everyone their own private doctor”. What do people go to doctors for? Medical advice.
