The devil is in the details: > An artificial intelligence (AI) system trained to conduct medical interviews matched, or even surpassed, human doctors’ performance at conversing with simulated patients and listing possible diagnoses on the basis of the patients’ medical history1. > The chatbot, which is based on a large language model (LLM) developed by Google, was more accurate than board-certified primary-care physicians in diagnosing respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, among others. Compared with human doctors, it managed to acquire a similar amount of information during medical interviews and ranked higher on empathy. So, they created an interview machine? Getting better than a medical doctor at conducting a dialogue based interview is simplistic and sophmoric. Primary Care docs are the most generalist doctors that exist, and medicine is very much a specialist field. 2nd, doctors do not rely on only dialogue to evaluate a PT, but instead they use in situ observations and sensing devices. On the good side, this could probably help replace some Nurse Practicioners working for insurance companies that have no business getting anywhere near a PT.
