Technology

So the same tech that lonely incels use to make themselves feel important doesn’t make good doctors? Ya don’t say?

You know what else is a bad doctor? My axe!

its not ready to take any role. It should not be doing anything but assiting. So yeah you can talk to a chat bot instead of filling out that checklist and the output might be useful to the doc while he then talks with you.

Water is wet

Don't worry guys, I found us a new doctor!

... You don't say.

It's great at software development though /s

Remember that when software written by AI will soon replace all the devices doctors use daily.

How much of that is the chat bot itself versus humans just being horrible at self reporting symptoms?

That is why "bedside manner" is so important. Connect the dots and ask follow up questions for clarifications or just look at a person and assume they are wrong. Obviously there are some BIG problems with that (ask any black woman, for example) but... humans are horrible at reporting symptoms.

Which gets back to how "AI" is actually an incredible tool (especially in this case when it is mostly a human language interface to a search engine) but you still need domain experts in the loop to understand what questions to ask and whether the resulting answer makes any sense at all.

Yet, instead, people do the equivalent of just raw dogging whatever the first response on stack overflow is.
