> Put this in a pharmacy - have people hit a button, and ask questions about over-the-counter medications.

Even if you trust OpenAI's models more than your trained, certified, and insured pharmacist -- the pharmacists, their regulators, and their insurers sure won't!

They've got a century of sunk costs to consider (and maybe even some valid concern over the answers a model might give on their behalf...)

Don't be expecting anything like that in an traditional regulated medical setting any time soon.



The last few doctors appointments I’ve had, the clinician used a service to record and summarize the visit. It was using some sort of TTS and LLM to do so. It’s already in medical settings.


Transcription and summary is a vastly different thing than providing medical advice to patients.
