I agree. I think the issue with LLM’s are not with the correct diagnoses’s but rather the incorrect ones.

Real doctors tend to have a degree of cautiousness. I would rather a real doctor be hesitate and seek more information, than an alarmist LLM suggesting I have cancer.

Yeah apparently my comment wasn't clear enough. If you can get the opinion of a doctor then good for you. I'm saying an LLM is the best some of us can get.

Oh right. Almost everyone in the world has free and easy access to actual doctors.

For that one country that doesn’t maybe universal healthcare can be an Anthropic model.

I don't think that using LLMs for medicine is an appropriate fix for the US's healthcare issues.

Unless healthcare businesses decide to improve patient care with AI instead of increasing patients per day, I think it's going to make things even worse.

reply
Doctors using AI will probably just increasing the number of patients they see. But for me as patient AI is super useful to get a good handle on the situation before I see a doctor.

I'm not suggesting it as a fix. I'm saying it's the only option to get medical answers for many people.
