"Don't worry, you can continue to ask ChatGPT all your burning health questions. A series of news articles and X posts on Monday morning, including one post by the prediction market Kalshi, suggested that OpenAI's ChatGPT would no longer offer health advice. That's not entirely accurate. OpenAI can still give you medical information - it just can't pretend to be your doctor."
""This is not a new change to our terms. ChatGPT has never been a substitute for professional legal or medical advice, but it will continue to be a great resource to help people understand legal and health information," an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to Business Insider. The posts draw on OpenAI's usage policies, which were updated on October 29 to include some new language around medical guidance."
OpenAI updated usage policies on October 29 to add language restricting provision of tailored advice that requires a license, such as legal or medical advice, without involvement by a licensed professional. ChatGPT can continue to provide general medical information and help users understand legal and health information but cannot serve as a substitute for professional legal or medical advice. Many users consult ChatGPT to prepare for doctor visits, translate medical jargon, and get second opinions on symptoms. About one in six people use ChatGPT for health advice at least once a month, according to a KFF 2024 survey. Some public posts suggested ChatGPT would stop offering health advice, creating user confusion.
