I'm a physician and use chatGPT extensively for coding, writing, and general knowledge inquiry.

With 60-70% correct rates on most training sets and 0.63 critical errors per report, for any physician not very well-versed with the limitations of LLMs, this is more of a liability than an asset. Some of the biggest barriers to care are cognitive, such as anchoring or availability biases. LLMs in their current state will only muddy the water.

Good physicians already know and do use these tools, bad ones will only get worse. A legal mandate will not benefit care.

Doubtless these models will progress to where this calculus will change. The only benefit from a mandate now that I can foresee is to accelerate fine-tuning by forcing widespread reinforcement learning by physicians, but that is a different discussion.
