Unfortunately, it's fairly tough for someone to determine if they are themselves a reasonable person.
A model that only ever says yes is a cognitohazard, IMO. Like being a billionaire without the money to insulate you from the consequences.

Saying yes is not equal to "provides the requested information." If you use models for affirmation instead of information, this is a more reasonable concern.

"I don't get to hear that it's not a doctor and I should call 911."
Sometimes, the requested information should be accompanied with a note like that.

Have you heard the cost of health insurance and seeing a doctor? Some people don't see going to hospital as an option. Better for them to have a local model than no options. But let me tell you how I use it for health, I take all my health records, lab results, every thing, I throw it in there for a second opinion, it explains things to me, it suggests questions I should ask on follow up, possible options, etc.

Yes. I've also heard the cost (death) of people falling into pseudosciency rabbit holes.
Anthropic has a significant interest in reducing liability, which in this case means mostly blocking this use case.
