Medical AI is usually more along the lines of ‘we’ve created a proprietary model for computer aided diagnostics specific to x disease being scanned with y modality and we’ve taken this through the regulatory process in z jurisdiction’ than ‘put your symptoms into an LLM lol’.

    There are studies that show that LLMs (chatbots) perform as well or better than human physicians.

    I'm not suggesting getting rid of physicians, though. This is a tool for humans, not a replacement.

    @joe if it's a tool for doctors to use then it will simply increase the costs of providing care even if there is an increase in the quality of that care. That means adoption of that particular type of "AI" will be limited. If it's possible to replace doctors with a chatbot, that will decrease costs even if the quality of care also decreases.

    Which one do you think is more likely to be widely used in a profit-driven, anti-human system?
