I went to an ear doctor recently, who was so old that I think he graduated when I was a toddler. But when I describe my symptom he says "Well, let's also see what ChatGPT says."
So some part of new medical information might spread faster than I had thought.
* My ear problem turned out to be that my ear canal was full of wax. I guess we didn't really need ChatGPT that day.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unless things have changed fundamentally since I was in medical school (UCLA Class of 1974), a doctor's visit should start with taking a history and move on to a physical examination. I would think ChatGPT wouldn't even have been mentioned once your PE revealed a wax-filled external ear canal.
