> An LLM can trivially instruct someone to take medications with adverse interactions,

What’s an example of such a medication that does not require a prescription?

How about just telling people that drinking grapefruit juice with their liver medicine is a good idea and to ignore their doctor.

Tylenol.

  • > Tylenol

    This drug comes with warnings: “Taking acetaminophen and drinking alcohol in large amounts can be risky. Large amounts of either of these substances can cause liver damage. Acetaminophen can also interact with warfarin, carbamazepine (Tegretol), and cholestyramine. It can also interact with antibiotics like isoniazid and rifampin.”

    It is on the consumer to read it.
