Literally the Godfather of AI did [1]. The rest is pablum, Radiologists do far more than just protect against liability. I hope you never find out why they are so critical to vast number of patients getting the worst news of their lifetime. As OP lays out, life and its professions is just not as simple as these narratives would like us to think, and we keep backfilling reasons for why all dooming and glooming consistently comes up wrong. Just selective memory writ large to keep the literal infinite scroll of doom going.

- HDThoreaun 2mo ago> "No one said the amount of radiology work would decrease" I was talking about number of scans analyzed, not time. In fact, the decrease in the amount of time it takes to do radiology work is exactly why they are now paid more. Everything in american medical care is about profit, hospitals love this new paradigm because they get to charge the same amount and do 5x as much work per radiologist. Since incentives between patients and providers arent aligned we've entered this hellscape where providers are constantly ordering radiology work that is completely unnecessary because the MBAs are pushing high margin stuff to the entire organization. I personally have many stories from my 2 doctor friends where the business forces them to overprescribe in the stupidest ways. It sucks that the whole thing is a racket and that Hinton couldnt see that but I dont think that makes him wrong about the long term future of the profession.
