> ChatGPT was trained on the same medical textbooks and research papers that doctors are.

There is a reason why the majority of a doctor's 8 years of training is spent doing the rounds as a junior doctor in hospital wards ....

Curious, what is learned doing rounds that isn't taught in med school, that ChatGPT could benefit from?

People!

Interacting with real people, facing a person trying to get help for something that they don't want to experience is vastly different than reading about a symptom or group of symptoms in a book.

Seriously ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The textbooks are the theory.

The hospital wards are the practice.

The hospital wards are what shows you that the human body is complex and many times things don't happen like the textbook says it will.

And then there's the ICU, pediatric, geriatric and mental health wards where the patient often cannot even describe their symptoms ...

Just from coding: Clean Code. Most companies require this on principle. But nobody follows it. And there is a good reason, because if you follow it, your code will be completely unreadable and thus unmaintainable.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice.

In practice...

Nothing. Need brain, body, hands, eyes.

well, chatGPT only started its first year and probably has not even done an autopsy
