- mike741 3y ago66% accuracy is not "great" and definitely not the best there's ever been.
- famouswaffles 3y agoIf they aren't great then neither are doctors and the word becomes meaningless. Context is important. 66% accuracy on cases that stumped doctors and took extensive testing is not trivial. It's not the same as 66% accuracy for everyday diagnosis.
- mike741 3y agoThe study references "clinicians" rather than "doctors." Clinicians include psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, physicians, paramedics, etc.
- famouswaffles 3y agoPoint still stands. Expert system diagnostic tools aren't that great.
