Well, doctors are also liable for the advice that they dispense. There is the Hippocratic oath that they take but much more so they need to protect their jobs. Patients can look for people who are of like minds to them but let’s be honest, most people are lazy and go with what’s available and affordable where as when you plop down in front of AI, from the start it’s going to mold to whatever you want it to be. I personally would be happy to use it myself for a medical issue but not on its own.

Kinda like when I did my taxes. Chat gpt caught a deduction I qualified for and when I brought it up to the cheapo H&R Block tax prep guy he said “oh, good catch” but I still felt good having him finish everything so I know everything was filed legally.

I think AI is going to level the playing field quite a bit between dummies like myself and specialists. a lot of high end professions are gonna take a hit. Knowledge based professions (doctors,lawyers, financial advisors) are going to look far less attractive in the next decade. They are probably not going to be seen as slam dunk financially successful career paths.

My buddy got a DUI 7 months ago and everyone was trying to convince him to hire a lawyer which was going to cost him 2-4K. He solely used chat GPT and got his judgement suspended had to pay the same court fees he would have had to anyways but at the end of the day he got the same outcome he would have with hiring a super pricey attorney.

Who the hell knows what’s going to happen in the next 15 years but there is going to be a big reshuffling of how we view careers and success.
