I've tried removing my post because the comment section here has become a platform for AI enthusiasts to spread dangerous medical misinformation. As HN does not really care about user privacy, I am unable to actually delete it. I renamed the post to [Removed], but it appears the admins are uninterested in respecting the intent of this, and renamed the post back to its original title.

Moral of the story kids: don't post on HN


Nobody here is advocating blindly trusting medical advice from LLMs, that is not "dangerous medical misinformation".

Even if you absolutely despise LLMs, this is just silly. The problem here isn't "AI enthusiasts", you're getting called out for the absolute lack of nuance in your article.

Yes, people shouldn't do what you did. Yes, people will unfortunately continue doing what you did until they get better advice. But the correct nuanced advice in a HN context is not "never ask LLMs for medical advice", you will rightfully get flamed for that. The correct advice is "never trust medical advice from LLMs, it could be helpful or it could kill you".

You are unambiguously wrong. Never ask LLMs for medical advice. There is no nuance here, and I suspect the only reason there's so much backlash against this simple and obvious fact is because the amount of money in this scam of an industry
> Never ask LLMs for medical advice

If you're not going to trust it, why? What could possibly go wrong? At best you receive useful suggestions to take to a doctor, or guidance on which kind of specialist you should try to talk to. At worst you receive useless advice and maybe waste a bit of time

You deleted the original article already. HN isn't letting you delete other people's discussion. Frankly that's WAI.
