> I find it hard to trust anyone with any kind of profit motive.
As much as this is true, and i.e. doctors for sure can profit (here in my country they don't get any type of sponsor money AFAIK, other than having very high rates), there is still accountability.
We have built a society based on rules and laws, if someone does something that can harm you, you can follow the path to at least hold someone accountable (or, try).
I mean there is some if they go wildly off the rails, but in general if the doctor gives a prognosis based on a tiny amount of the total corpus of evidence they are covered. Works well if you have the common issue, but can quickly go wrong if you have the uncommon one.

The same cannot be said about LLMs.
