This is the self driving car argument applied to things it doesn’t fit. Sure, unless a self driving car is several 9’s reliable, it’s not terribly useful for society. That’s because there’s no way for a human to be safely in the loop at highway speed.

But a LLM assisting a wide rage of professionals at even a low accuracy could be part of an efficient workflow, allowing for be doctor or lawyer to give quality service to more people.

The author touches on this in the very article linked. His point is that the low accuracy answers provided by ChatGPT risks reinforcing the doctor's biases and then not thinking outside the box. In other words it risks the doctor blindly trusting the AI too much.

The inherent problem with chat bots is you can't investigate why they're telling you something. When I search Google, I'm critically evaluating the information, and it's frustrating when the results it gives are low-accuracy. If I ask a chat bot a question, what would I do with the answer if it might be wrong? There's no context for me to evaluate.

You can ask it to explain its reasoning. And it's even more useful if you ask it to show its reasoning when you ask a question, as it improves the answer.
