Yes, AI is smart as a tool, but I really don`t want to put my life in it`s hands without doctors yet though.

I believe naturopathy first - The Nature heals itself in most cases.. if not, then il go with Siddha / Ayurvedic..

And finally a Doctor, ( only if nothing works )

But, never believe AI for Health Problems..

I've noticed AI bots are pretty good with diagnosing issues. Most of a doctor's job when it comes to diagnosis is listing all of the symptoms and seeing what illnesses/injuries/diseases/etc match up the most. That can be done fairly easily without human intervention. The biggest issue is that it wouldn't come with the human experience of being a doctor that might lead you to figuring out the issue faster, but those kind of experiences can also lead to bias and wrongful diagnosing.

It's not at the point where the public would consider it reliable, but we seem to be getting closer and closer to AI diagnosis being pretty commonplace.

Same. I most likely would do the same thing (Using ChatGPT before I go to the doctor, lol.), but I still would much prefer someone who actually takes a look at me. With that said, it might a good time for doctors to work together with AI, instead of saying that everything AI is saying is wrong.

Interesting...

My mother in law uses google to pretty much decide she has cancer for everything! I think she's yet to discover GPT I really hope there's a crafted "you just got the shits" reply in that AI library

A doctor said about my girls once that something she had was most likely a virus because she had a soft stomach.
To me it felt as usual, so I think that an untrained human can't even list their symptoms properly.

I'm also at the end of a rewatch of House M.D so I might be a bit biased.

I agree with that, but I also think that people not being able to accurately describe their symptoms is one of the biggest issues for doctors diagnosing illnesses, too.

What would be ideal to me is if they could have a system where an intelligent AI trained on medical manuals/journals could be used like a directory for doctors to consult and use to make more informed decisions.

Unfortunately, based on how I've seen automation used everywhere, what is more likely to happen is that they'll completely push off diagnosis to AI with no oversight and make it hard for people to actually see a human being that they can explain their issues to.

That's the same issue mechanics as well.

Any time I've worked on someone else's car, it was always the same thing.

"The car is making a sound". Well great, that narrows it down!

When I asked them where, they always say, "Uh, in the engine".

When I asked them what sound it's making, they struggle to describe it.
