I read this not as "you can't ask ChatGPT about {medical or legal topic}" but rather "you can't build something on ChatGPT that provides {medical or legal} advice or support to someone else."

For example, Epic couldn't embed ChatGPT into their application to have it read your forms for you. You can still ask it - but Epic can't build it.

That said, I haven't found the specific terms and conditions that are mentioned but not quoted in context.

(For anyone misunderstanding the reference to Epic, it's the name of an electronic healthcare record system widely used in American hospitals, not the game company Epic Games)

		I was picturing a doctor AI NPC that gives you medical advice in the middle of your Fortnite game and now I'm disapointed

And this seems actually wildly reasonable. It’s actually pretty scammy to take people’s money (or whatever your business model is) for legal or medical advice just to give them whatever AI shits out. If I wanted ChatGPT’s opinion (as I actually often do) I’d just ask ChatGPT for free or nearly-free. Anyone repackaging ChatGPT’s output as fit for a specialized purpose is scamming their customers.

Your comment actually hints at this towards the end but yeah this doesn’t just apply to medical and legal topics.

You are failing to recognise all of the hard work which goes into "prompt engineering" to get AI to magically work!

It's the hardest work of all, it's basically voodoo, or put more generously, alchemy.

Thankfully we have progressed so this time it will probably take less than 1000 years to progress to full blown chemistry :-)

Its more and more of a science everyday

		Yes, a more correct comparison would be early medicine: a science, but still filled with leeches and lancets. Oh, and another thing, we still aren't able to quantify if AI coding is a net benefit. In my use cases the biggest benefit I get from it is as an enhanced code search, basically. Which has value, but I'm not sure it's a "$1 trillion per year business sector" kind of value.

Wait, so we cannot use the API anymore?

		To scam people? No.
