Doctors get sued all the time. It doesn't mean doctors are no good.
I also don't think ChatGPT will pretend they are replacing doctors / committing to diagnosis with this tool. They will cover their ass legally.
ChatGPT is just suppose to “work” for the lay person and it just doesn’t quite often. OpenAI is already being sued by people for stochastic parroting that ended in tragedy. In one case they’ve tried to use the rather novel affirmative defense that they’re not not liable because using ChatGPT for self-harm was against the terms of service the victim agreed to when using the service.
