I had an AI class in college 30 years ago that centered on the medical field. It was pretty exciting but never went anywhere. Patient gives symptoms, softwares asks questions… seemed so straightforward. Quite strange to me that, 3 decades later, not much has changed on that front, aside for my realization that good doctors are few and far between IRL.
There is a universe of difference between being able to ace medical knowledge tests & applying that knowledge. I don't see doctors going away for a loooooooong time.
