I've seen that LLMs hallucinate in very subtle ways when guidng you through a course of treatment.

Once when having to administer eyedrops to a parent, and I saw redness and was being conservative, it told me the wrong drop to stop. The doctor saw my parent the next day so it was all fixed but did lead to me freaking out.

Doctors behave very differently from how we normal humans behave. They go through testing that not many of us would be able to sit through let alone pass. And they are taught a multitude of subjects that are so far away from the subjects everyone else learns that we have no way to truly communicate to them.

And this massive chasm is the problem, not that the LLM is the wrong tool.

Thinking probabilistically (mainly basyesia) and understanding the initial first two years of medschool will help you use an LLM much more effectively for your health.
