Says who? All the doctors in my family, most of whom are surgeons, are very concerned about the rise in AI being used to diagnose patients, for instance. Entire teams of specialists can be rendered redundant as AI gets better at analyzing disparate symptoms to identify the body systems affected and likely underlying causes that can take human doctors years to diagnose. The encroachment on the medical field is already significant. [/quote]

PP here. I'm not completely against the rise in AI diagnoses. Doctors do a terrible job of diagnosing women and minorities, for instance. The average of 7-11 years to diagnose endometriosis is a disgrace and comes down primarily to doctors' disrespect for women's pain and disdain for women's self-reported symptoms.

But the improvements in patient care will come at the expense of doctors' bottomline. 7-11 years of an endometriosis patient going to doctor visit after doctor visit and receiving useless procedures, diagnoses, and prescriptions is a lot of money in doctors' pockets. If all of that could be wrapped up in a couple of visits to take a detailed patient history followed by plugging things into AI, that's a lot of money lost. Imagine that multiplied across thousands of health conditions for millions of patients annually. [/quote]
