TIL that saying "holy shit don't use ChatGPT for medical advice" is a "purity test". i didn't know that before. in fact I still don't.

@davidgerard

Everyone should have access to medical professionals who take their problems seriously.

If they have that and still ask ChatGPT for medical advice... sigh

@davidgerard @Mab_813 A real problem (in so many ways) is that too many people who have access to medical professionals don’t have their problems taken seriously. In which cases, turning to ChatGPT is understandable, as was turning to “alternative medicine” before that. Usually regrettable, but understandable.
