Maybe I don't understand your point, but as I read it you're saying "AI clearly accomplished amazing things very recently" as evidence that it will be the best

Maybe I don't understand your point, but as I read it you're saying "AI clearly accomplished amazing things very recently" as evidence that it will be the best (or a comparatively effective) use of healthcare dollars?
IBM Watson used this argument in marketing: "it can play jeopardy, now we'll focus it's powers on healthcare", and all their projects ended in failure.
AI doesn't work on edge cases (and typically doesn't know when it gets an edge case), distracts from resource scarcity by optimizing averages of shitty metrics (same as most "data driven" consulting projects), and diverts money from more helpful things. In a world without resource constraints, it would be worth implementing, but for now, it's a grift to make money for AI consultants, and will be worse for patients
