I can already see the pharma salesmen drooling at the idea of how various symptoms can be marketed to.

"As an AI agent, a possible diagnosis is [xxx]. Ask your doctor about / look into [yyy™] for a possible solution!"

And OpenAI is definitely thinking about this on their end:

> OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar told the Financial Times that OpenAI is weighing the inclusion of ads in its products but wants to be "thoughtful about when and where we implement them."

Ad spots inside chatgpt are going to be worth an obscene amount of money.

I agree - we should exercise a bit of caution here. There is no way they would release a benchmark which makes their model look bad. But then again we know that their models are one of the best for other uses so its not a big leap to accept this benchmark.

I think that the damage of "chatgpt misdiagnose X as Y, person dies of Z" would be quite bad for PR
