Patients are turning to ChatGPT and Gemini for medical advice, but the risks far outweigh potential benefits.

●Builder Action:Developers should understand that while LLMs can process text, they lack clinical reasoning and can hallucinate medical information.

Focus on using AI for summarization or preparation of patient queries, not for direct medical advice.
