Reply to comment by ALurkerForcedToLogin in ChatGPT Passed a Major Medical Exam, but Just Barely | Researchers say ChatGPT is the first AI to receive a passing score for the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam, but it's still bad at math. by chrisdh79
Low level doctors are imo the most likely to be replaced by AI, a general practioner has told me fuck all that I didn’t know from just googling in the last 10 years. These days I already go to a lab on my own to check my blood work,

Anyone can use Google, but I pay my doctor for their decade of med school and years of experience. They have the experience to know that it is actually not cancer, no matter what Web MD is telling me.

and how many shitty doctors did you have to go through before you got that one?

None. Your first appointment with a doctor is a chance to get to know each other a little bit. You provide info about your health history, current status, and future goals, and you ask questions about how they will be able to help you meet your health goals. If they don't sound like they're going to be able to do what you need, then no hard feelings, they're just not the doctor for you, so you find another. Doctors have different specialties and focuses, and they have different approaches and proficiencies. Your job as a patient is to find a doctor with skills that align to your needs.

No single doctor has knowledge about everything but an AI does. You do not need to find a doctor that works for you or a doctor whose schedule fits yours when AI takes care of you. It’s available for everyone anytime and also has the whole human knowledge base.

Available for everyone any time? Fat chance. Computation time on a super computer isn’t free. The dataset isn’t free. Liability isn’t resolved. The team of phds who built it didn’t work for free. And only the whole of human knowledge that it has license to access or it’s dataset was trained on. Most of the data it would need is not public domain and would likely be heavily guarded and monetized.
That’s just the dataset The ai doctor still needs data about you to make conclusions. That means lab tests, scheduling, cost considerations, etc.

I'm not talking to you like you're five. I answered your question. If you don't like it, then don't read it.

Replace?
No touching? I don't want this doctor.

GPs are genuinely useless unless you're after paracetamol or a doctor's note

Ironically probably farthest from the truth. Generalists have to know the most. Specialists are far more likely to get bored with their career because they "learn it all" pretty quickly, and practice-changing updates happen like once a year if even.
