FWIW, healthcare has strong regulations around data. If your provider uses an approved chatbot (vs using public ChatGPT), there is more or less a guarantee that your data won't be sucked up by a corp.

I'd rather my doctor use a negotiated and approved model/tool than an unapproved one.

Not true. "The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes the conditions under which protected health information may be used or disclosed by covered entities for research purposes" [1]. Your de-identified data can be sucked up by a corp for research purposes. You are protected because your identity will be removed before data is used for research.

Sure, I was emphasizing on the "however personal" part in the original comment. I am ok if my de-identified data is used for research.
