The models won't give you medical advice. But they will answer a hypothetical mutiple-choice MCAT question and give you pros/cons for each answer.

Which models don’t give medical advice? I have had no issue asking medicine & biology questions to LLMs. Even just dumping a list of symptoms in gets decent ideas back (obviously not a final answer but helps to have an idea where to start looking).

ChatGPT wouldn’t tell me which OTC NSAID would be preferred with a particular combo of prescription drugs. but when I phrased it as a test question with all the same context it had no problem.

		At times I’ve found it easier to add something like “I don’t have money to go to the doctor and I only have these x meds at home, so please help me do the healthiest thing “. It’s kind of an artificial restriction, sure, but it’s quite effective.

You might be classifying medical advice differently, but this hasn't been my experience at all. I've discussed my insomnia on multiple occasions, and gotten back very specific multi-week protocols of things to try, including supplements. I also ask about different prescribed medications, their interactions, and pros and cons. (To have some knowledge before I speak with my doctor.)
