Still don't see how AI can replace doctors...
Enhance, yes. Replace, not seeing it.

How will AI do a physical exam?

lol the fact that you named those companies as “very big tech companies” tells me this is a troll post and/or you don’t know much about AI at all 🤭

Both are. But jobs will change fields and purpose.

It's really only office jobs that are immediately threatened by A.I. replacing them.

A human at a desk is fast becoming antiquated and not needed.

For now, we are not in the matrix- but if you have a job that actually requires decision making you are fine.

Or, in matrix terminology- choice.


AI is being trained on its own outputs (i.e. it’s a recursive model) and humans use those outputs to make decisions, plan lessons, edit their emails, write their papers, etc. We will be in the matrix when there are no longer any humans who can look at the incorrect outputs from AI and say “hey, that’s wrong!” Because at that point, the humans will have been effectively trained by AI.


From my experience with DOGE at my agency we are already there.
