A dоctоr is wоrking with а pаtient who is insistent on refusing to use or be аffected by AI, “clankers” as he calls them, a slur for machines that perform intelligent behavior. The patient believes that large language models (LLMs such as ChatGPT) can cause potential harm and specifically requests that her doctor does not use these tools while giving care to her. She is being treated for complications caused by pharmaceuticals prescribed to her for arthritic pain. The prescription drug cocktail already prescribed to her is complicated, leading to unexplainable and odd side-effects. It is unclear if additional drugs should be prescribed, or if drugs should be eliminated, it is unclear which ones should be. The doctor, without her client knowing, uses ChatGPT to analyze the situation since he is at a loss for what to recommend. He convinces the LLM that his use is only for research purposes and describes his patient’s case in a hypothetical sense. Under this context, ChatGPT produces a suggestion. The doctor suggests ChatGPT’s ‘hypothetical’ solution and its reasoning without informing the patient where this solution was obtained. The patient was sent to the ER within 72 hours of starting his new medication regimen. Was informed consent violated in this case? What constitutes an informed consent violation, generally speaking? What constitutes a successful instance of informed consent? What is “material” to achieving informed consent in this case? What were the harms dealt in this case? (consider both long-term and short-term harms). To what extent is the doctor blameworthy for these harms? To what extent is ChatGPT blameworthy for these harms?
