Not sure why this is getting downvoted. In its specific case that's quite obviously not a good example because removing benign spots isn't harmful, but overlooking malignant ones is, so there is no downside.
But if we think a little further and generalize then there is great risk (and by extension, harm) to delegate diagnosis and treatment (of health issues in general, including potentially or supposedly fatal ones) to ChatGPT and similar tech. That we'd end up with a net positive is far from obvious.
I still maintain my point that it isn't harmless to blindly address benign anomalies. Every medical procedure carries risk.
Your point doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Even with ChatGPT existing and making 90% bad calls, a doctor isn’t likely to just “blindly” be cutting out anomalies.
As opposed to what OP said?

Obviously, error rate of ChatGPT should be measured by comparing to human diagnoses and when it plateaus, we should investigate a possibility that the number is driven mostly by human errors.
