[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw a very interesting post on LinkedIn of a study where they compared the newest version of AI versus, human alone, and human +AI assist.  The gist was that AI alone was just as good as human + AI, which were both better than human alone.  The point being here human input into clinical diagnostics is now not providing anything useful over AI alone.

It's only going to be a matter of time until they try to push the argument that humans should be banned from practicing medicine due to the fact that humans alone perform the worst, and are more error prone now than AI alone.  If humans aren't needed for large aspects of clinical diagnostics and AI is better, why shouldn't human physicians be replaced?  Are you willing to see an AI doctor only in the future when you're sick knowing that objective data are starting to show AI alone is all that's needed and better than a human doctor in terms of error rates?

We are entering an entire new era.[/quote]

Almost anything is better than your average doctor these days.

A person, even a sub 100 I.Q. midwit, could learn more about an illness in a few days than the average Gen Pract doc would know.

Doctors have to learn A LITTLE about A LOT, so they aren't very knowledgeable about any specific topic they don't have a lot of experience in personally. [/quote]

This 1000%. so why shouldn't they utilize the avaialbe tools to increase their knowledge specific to a patients issues?  Yes, AI is not always right (neither is google), but use the tools around you rather than racking your brain guessing/trying multiple things when you know that 98% of the time "with these symptoms the problem is Y". Then investigate if it is Y and if not, search more.  [/quote]
