My doctor already replaced himself with AI by using chatGPT right in front of my face.Why not just go straight to the source and use AI myself?tele-prescriptions are already a thing.
>>17047276>When anons talk about replacing doctors with AI, do they imagine something like this?They don't imagine anything. It's 95% spambots and 5% severely aphantasic NPCs with no internal monologue/dialogue/system log.
>>17047280>Why not just go straight to the source and use AI myself?Because a doctor can judge the input/output quality better than you can, at least I hope so for the sake of your wellbeing.
>>17047283He can't judge the input/output quality of his doocter, either, so what's the difference between having false hopes about the doocter vs. the slopbot for his sake?
>>17047284The problem here is the loss of trust, regardless of who or what is at fault for that. What does establish trust anyway?If it's about results then right away there's the problem of how these results are measured and communicated which is about trust again because it's impossible to verify everything yourself. So are we in the dark ages of individual trial and error again?
>>17047289>The problem here is the loss of trust, regardless of who or what is at fault for thatDoocters are the problem. Loss of trust is the solution. Doocters trying to deflect responsibility for that loss of trust only goes to prove my point.>So are we in the dark ages of individual trial and error again?I don't know, anon. I thoguth the Dark Ages were all about troosting appointed authority figures going by establishment dogma. The age of individual trial and error sounds much more like the Age of Enlightenment. Being able to prompt-engineer a slopbot into prescribing my desired treatment instead of whatever pharma poison the dooctor is paid to peddle this week sounds like a win to me. "Do your own research" is becoming actually viable using LLMs to scour actual sources.The only thing I'll give you is that governments and the medical cartel will make """AI""" medicine maximally ineffective and unafforedable, just like they do with normal medicine.
