A doctor can look at a YT video and know what's in it. They can judge whether it's appropriate for a child to watch. No doctor can know what output LLMs will generate, it is impossible to verify that it will be safe. Contrary to your claim those things aren't similar at all.

Thanks for this feedback. I hear what you are saying. If I understand correctly its like LLMs are a black box doctors dont understand and while it talks back in a friendly voice it can cause harm if it says something awful. While this is not likely due to our prompting it is not impossible either.

Junru and I will discuss the approach with pediatric care based on this. And I agree having domain expertise/advisors to guide us in the right direction is important

Maybe convert it to an offline version of furby instead. My position would be not to confound treating/medicine with a neat stuffed animal.
