After 20 years as a doctor, if any AI rivals my expertise (mental/neuro disorders) then, I believe, it will deserve the Nobel prize. There are so many fuzzy factors and interconnecting mechanisms in the human biochemical factory, examined with both rigor and intuition, that one cannot encode even for one patient. Medicine is easy as science but difficult as art.
Being on topic, the best is to enhance the doctor's opinion with an AI helper but never completely remove him/her.
- ACCount37 7mo agoModern AI absolutely excels at wrangling "fuzzy factors and interconnecting mechanisms". That's the one lesson we learned in this AI wave quick. Things that used to be "a computer can't do it because it's not a formal task and it doesn't have the intuition for it" are now well within AI's reach.

Today the first step is the most difficult: the data to train on and the prompt to infere from, which, for medicine, need deeper and wider LLMs. Let's not talk about the acceptable failure rate and who takes the responsibility after a disaster.
