Why the fuck would anybody think a chat bot could create a cancer treatment plan?

Because it’s been hyped. They had announced it could pass the medical licensing exam with good scores. The belief that it can replace a doctor has already been put forward

It did pass it didn't it. But who said it can replace doctors?

If my previous response didn't answer your question. I'm not sure if it helps to tell you that no one said it can replace doctors.

On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Charles Babbage

Better tech, same stupid end users lmao

Good old "garbage in, garbage out".
