I pity the doctors who will now have to deal with such self-diagnosed "patients". Wonder if General Medicine doctors will see a drop in patient, as AI convinces you to see a specialist with its diagnosis?
Not to mention, doctors are absolutely fallible and misdiagnose constantly.
Either way, I’m excited for some actual innovation in the personal health field. Apple Health is more about aggregating data than actually producing actionable insights. 23andme was mostly useless.
Today I have a ChatGPT project with my health history as a system prompt and it’s been very helpful. Recently I snapped a photo of an obscure instrument screen after taking a test and was able to get more useful information than what my doctor eventually provided (“nothing to worry about”, etc.) ChatGPT was able to reference papers and do data analysis which was pretty amazing, right from my phone (e.g fitting my data to a model from a paper and spitting out a plot).

This is going to be fun to watch :)

You also have to imagine that they've got their zero guardrails superpowered internal only next generation bot available to them, which can be used by said lawyer horde to ensure their asses are thoroughly covered. (It'd be staggeringly stupid not to use their AI for things like this.)
The institutions that have artificially capped levels of doctors, strangled and manipulated healthcare for personal gain, allowed insurance and health industries to become cancerous - they should be terrified of what's coming. Tools like this will be able to assist people with deep, nuanced understanding of their healthcare and be a force multiplier for doctors and nurses, of which there are far too few.
It'll also be WebMD on steroids, and every third person will likely be convinced they have stereochromatic belly button cancer after each chat, but I think we'll be better off, anyway.
I personally don’t care who has access to my health data, but I understand those who might. Either way, I’m excited for some actual innovation in the personal health field.

I think the more plausible comment is "I've been protected my whole life by health data privacy laws that I have no idea what the other side looks like".
Quite frankly, this is even worse as it can and will override doctors orders and feed into people's delusions as an "expert".
