We had Dr. Google, now Dr. AI has arrived. What will ChatGPT Health change?
You can look at OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT Health two ways: as just another product in the AI ecosystem, or as proof that something much more important is shifting—the point where the diagnosis starts and the treatment plan takes shape.
It’s not like AI suddenly showed up in medicine. It’s been there for years. What’s changed is that the first interpretations of our symptoms, the first hypotheses and even the first emotions about our health aren’t happening in the doctor’s office anymore. They show up earlier. In front of a screen, in a conversation with an algorithm.
OpenAI isn’t trying to create a new habit, but tapping into an existing one. And the scale is hard to ignore, as about 200 million users ask ChatGPT health-related questions each week, and about 40 million do it every day.
