If a real person gave them this advice, like a doctor or pharmacist, there would be standing for a lawsuit, might even be criminal.

Looking past "drugs bad mkay", the same ChatGPT that gave this advice is just as capable of giving the same, or worse, advice to someone wondering if they can take an allergy medication like Benedryl with their MAOI antidepressant.

Yes but if you're wondering about drug interactions you shouldn't ask AI, because there's always a risk of hallucination. You should ask your pharmacist. You can just call them, I promise they won't reject a consult.

		How will kids bootstrap that information? If you ask LLM vendors we’re right behind the corner of AGI and mass replacement of human labor, surely they would be better at telling us about drug interactions than mere human doctors?

Yes, but if chokemegently420 on some random sub Reddit gave them that advice, nobody would be the wiser. It's not like ChatGPT is a certified clinician

		Why would they believe that when AI is smarter than any human and is going to replace doctors and themselves? If it isn't going to replace doctors, why is ChatGPT giving medical advice at all, especially deadly medical advice?
