That is one of the legitimate uses. Unfortunately it's marred by the AI companies' complete lack of trustworthiness when it comes to data privacy and security. You can't know for certain they aren't just wrapping your personal medical notes into their ever growing store of training data.
It's also not hipaa compliant. Any doctors doing this are in for a bad time sooner or later.
The problem is that these doctors might not even know that the AI's are spying on them. We don't have enough legislative protection for our private data so they could sign up for these things and be under the impression that their data is secure meanwhile these AI companies are siphoning that data into their training models without telling them. It's not like it hasn't happened before.
