Disagree with doctors. Of course you'll need some of them, but once AI will have a higher % of correct diagnosis than doctors (which is already happening in some areas) it would be unethical (not to mention inefficient) to keep just as many doctors for diagnosis.

Ai doctor won't be able to understand nuances of what the patient tells them. Ai will only aid in analysis of lab / scan results to suggests diagnosis, prognosis and treatment options

If course it will. And it will be much better at seeing the big picture. They may make the connections people are just not able to. I think humans will be involved in the decision making in medicine for a long time to come. But AI will be able to take every little detail into account and reference every published study in a matter of seconds. Humans simply can’t do that, that’s why we have specialists for every aspect of medicine. AI will make connections that humans never even thought of because there simply is too much to know about the human body.

So i am thinking the function of a doctor will remain, as the key orchestrator of the entire process. A person close to me is a medic, and from the stories I'm told it would be I think impossible to replace a human. Especially when a psychological aspects of the interaction affect the entire process, like wiligness to undergo or not a certain tests, try medicine, following up etc.

Why wouldn't it? I feel like a model trained specifically on medical cases could eventually be better than doctors at possible diagnosis based on vague descriptions. Only issue is people will trust a person more to do clinical inspections on them, so doctors would still be needed.

I think AI is already a lot more capable of understanding nuance than people like you seem to think. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a bunch of people from 2014 or something reading this sub.
