ChatGPT won’t be your doctor, lawyer or financial planner anymore — Here’s why
Tech firm OpenAI has made a major change in ChatGPT. It will not give users advice on medical, legal, or financial advice any more.
As reported by NEXTA, the chatbot will now act as an 'educational tool' and not as a consultant any more.
In its X page, NEXTA said: "As of October 29, ChatGPT stopped providing specific guidance on treatment, legal issues and money. The bot is now officially an 'educational tool,' not a consultant — and the new terms spell that out clearly."
"Now the model can only explain principles, outline general mechanisms and tell you to talk to a doctor, lawyer or financial professional," NEXTA said.
Users across the globe had been using the chatbot as a legal and medical advisor for months since the bot was launched.
"But regulations and liability fears squeezed it — Big Tech doesn’t want lawsuits on its plate," NEXTA said.
What changed? • no more naming medications or giving dosages • no lawsuit templates, court strategies or “here’s what you do if…” • no investment tips or buy/sell suggestions
