@skry Poor implementation, but the market is there. I would love to have a (sound) medical advisor who didn't need $500 per interaction and whose advice was not always tinged with the thoughts of "the more they do the more they make."

As a repeat victim of unjustified over-treatment in medicine I would love to have a medical AI that didn't have a financial incentive to prescribe a treatment I didn't need.

@antares I agree, especially for diagnoses.

But my worry today is that doctors will use these things and we won’t know, which could affect our own risk calculations. And I worry that naive people will trust LLMs too much (in medicine as they do with other knowledge domains) and self-treat the wrong diseases.

Where we are not subject matter experts, systems may seem more accurate to us because of our inherent cognitive biases.
