    Not going to lie LLMs give pretty solid medical advice. They are trained on huge medical datasets. Works well as long as you have a common problem.

      they do not and saying this sort of thing actually harms people. do not trust an llm with anything medical, ever.

      llms have no conception (of anything) of truth, you are getting a probabilistic bullshit. in a literal sense.

        You do not trust them. Fact check their recommendations. Check the diagnose and see if the symptoms match on google. And if it is something possibly grave then go to a doctor.

        But many people do not feel like going to the doctor for every small thing they wonder about.
