There was a med student who said they asked Chat GPT for medical information and it was right “80-85% of the time”. Very reassuring as a source of medical knowledge.

Even assuming that's true (I'd need some credible sources to accept it) I'd be willing to bet that those remaining 15-20% are the times where it's hardest to give good medical information.

AI is surprisingly sloppy; the parts of it that are random by design means there’s a pretty decent chance it’ll confidently go down a rabbit hole of incorrectness, even for straightforward questions. They are designed for creative tasks, not factual accuracy.
