I'm sure it's going to get some hate, but this actually makes some weird amount of sense. Modern LLMs are basically a glorified search engine, so as long as all the relevant factors were included in its corpus, I could see it doing very well with more information in its "memory" than a human MD can hold.
It certainly makes more sense than "AIs can do math better than a grad student now!*" *Disclaimer, they actually cannot
Also, current LLMs are great at modelling best practices.
Most disease diagnosis, even rare diseases, follows predictable paths. Human doctors would have to have superhuman memories to do as well.
What's more exciting to me is that this knowledge is now free. Free as in beer.
People talk of UBI, but what about universal services that cost nothing?
UBI and UBS aren't opposites. UBI is the last level of UBS.
