large language model deployed to make treatment recommendations

What kind of irrational lunatic would seriously attempt to invoke currently available Counterfeit Cognizance to obtain a "treatment recommendation" for anything...???

FFS.

Anyone who would seems a supreme candidate for a Darwin Award.

There's a potentially justifiable use case in training one and evaluating its performance for use in, idk, triaging a mass-casualty event. Similar to the 911 bot they announced the other day.

Also similar to the 911 bot, i expect it's already being used to justify cuts in necessary staffing so it's going to be required in every ER to ~~maintain higher profit margins~~ just keep the lights on.
