Under Medical Device Regulation in the EU, the main purpose of the software needs to be medical for it to become a medical device. In ChatGPT's case, this is not the primary use case.

Then the McDonalds cashier also becomes a medical practitioner the moment they tell you that killing yourself isn't the answer. And if I tell my friend via SMS that I am thinking about suicide, do both our phones now also become HIPAA-covered medical devices?

What about a medicine book? Is that also a medical device?
