A little harsh. Some people (myself included) may not be getting the help or answers they need from a doctor. My insurance sucks ass and each time I see a doctor it's at least $400. Repetitive appointments with no real answers. No diagnosis. Just chronic discomfort.
Then the other day I decide to actually summarize everything I've tried, everything that hasn't helped, and all my symptoms to an AI, and it was able to at least give me suggestions on what it COULD be, and what I can do to alleviate some symptoms. While I'm not convinced the AI knows exactly what's wrong with me, I at least have more options to stay in control rather than feeling overwhelmed by it all.
Maybe don't use AI if something's wrong that just started happening recently, but for chronic illness it may be beneficial for learning other ways to cope without spending hundreds of dollars to see a specialist that only has ~30 minutes to understand an issue you've had for 10 years.
