One of the defining characteristics of LLMs is that their knowledge bases are shockingly wide. Anyone who has played with GPT (or similar) has experienced that the width of its knowledge is beyond most if not all humans. Medicine, and in particular diagnosis, is particularly difficult due to the width of knowledge required due to the span of possible diseases. It completely makes sense that GPT, or similar, would simply be better than doctors at diagnosis in time, and it is very plausible that the time is now. This is fantastic news for humanity. Humanity gets better diagnosis and we don't put high IQ people thought a grinder that is medical school and residency to do a job which is not suited to human cognition. It's an amazing win.
