This is not shutting anything down other than businesses using ChatGPT to give medical advice [0].

Users can still ask questions, get answers, but the terms have been made clearer around reuse of that response (you cannot claim that it is medical advice).

I imagine that a startup that specialises in "medical advice" infers an even greater level of trust than simply asking ChatGPT, especially to "the normal people".

The thing is that if you are giving professional advice in US - legal, financial, medical - the other party can sue you for wrong or misleading advice. In that scenario, this leaves Openai exposed to a lawsuit, and this change seemingly eliminates that.

Would be amazing if they prefix everything with “this is not financial advice. Do your own research. “

Yeah, that clearly makes sense from OpenAI's perspective.
