Spotting the hallucinations, writing the scripts, making the referrals, etc. Judging from the ai at the top of Google search, ai don’t know what it’s talking about a lot. Lots of does/doesn’t flips.

If you trust AI you probably trust KFK Jr. Good luck.

If test fails, resume execution at next line.

Even with much better AI than today*, a human doctor is still a second opinion — and in a better way that just asking the AI twice or even asking two different models.

Hosted AI with specific version numbers are, by corporate preference, memetic monocultures: even when they're generally better, the failures are correlated.

* despite how generally impressed I am by SOTA models, I still suspect this story has been cherry-picking successes

The most likely outcome is that AI will be integrated into the existing crop of medical databases (DynaMed, UpToDate, etc) to search and find relational patterns across tens of thousands of medical research, journals, papers, etc. in order to assist with providing a better diagnosis for more complex patient's issues.
