    As someone with a rare disease that took seeing literally dozens of doctors over 20 years to get a diagnosis, I’d prefer an AI doctor for diagnosis and maintenance. I’d prefer a human doctor working with AI for treatment.

    In my experience, critical thinking is lacking in the medical profession.

      That was bound to happen ever since “doctors make lots of money” became common knowledge and a bunch of people looking to become wealthy decided to go to med school. That combined with for-profit schools caused this problem. Schools that flunk out unworthy potential doctors are unable to continue collecting tuition from them. There’s no incentive to expel students for poor grades.
