A bunch of tech executives are claiming that GPT-4 can take an available drug and find substitutes, modify the drugs’ to create non-patented variants, and purchase the prescriptions from a supplier. All without a trained and licensed pharmacist.

Please don’t do this. Please don’t put your health outcomes in the hands of a computer program that isn’t capable of correcting itself or feeling empathy for your symptoms. There is a reason why pharmacy schools exist and why drugs are heavily regulated: Because it’s incredibly easy to fuck up, and fucking up has potentially horrifying consequences. Your body is a temple, not a testing site for whatever chemical compounds an AI spits out at you.
