Raw LLM Responses

This is the nuanced view I was looking for. Unfortunately, most of my peers in this field think medicine is diagnosing via checklist and treating with a generalized single (or narrow) treatment strategy. I think it comes from the same place that the prevalent web-md mentality comes from. It is well known and has been well known for a very long time that AIs are good at imaging. When a new study that reinforces this comes out, many are quick to immediately conclude that doctors will be replaced with algorithms. This view overestimates the current state of the art (which is a highly unpopular opinion), underestimates the complexity of medicine (there’s a reason most fields of medicine require eight years of training minimum post-college), and most importantly overestimates societal and political/regulatory process. I agree that maybe AI will replace doctors, but I don’t think that will happen for an extremely long time. First let’s figure out how to get AIs to take a comprehensive patient history.
