Even if you have perfect medical information and advice through an LLM, can you perform surgery on yourself? Can you prescribe yourself whatever medication you think you need?

For education, if you know as much as the average Harvard grad, can you give yourself a Harvard degree that will be as readily accepted in a job application or raising funds for a new business?

A robotic surgeon can use the data from the LLM to perform the appropriate surgery for you. Ditto for the automated pharmacy kiosk.

That Harvard degree will be irrelevant since no one will be hiring humans.

Interesting perspective; medical regulation as a business moat
