Completely unusable for my usecase. Constant safety filters. Have not even been able to use it. Organ segmentation with CNNs. Very disappointing.

60% is insanely high and absolutely not the performance of human mistake rate. What charts are you reading?

"Provider" and not "physician". Big tell.

Touch the salary and doctors strike. People will die if need be. Target somebody else for your reductions, not the people who have slaved away for years to treat you. We will not allow AI to accelerate the enshittification of healthcare and

As a current medical student, there's no way I'm living in a rural area for anything other than an insane paycheck. Even then, I'm out after a few years. Urbanization is the solution. And physicians won't stand idly by a

https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.01191 See this. I use OpenEvidence. It has access to full text from some of the major medical journals. But generalist models seem to outperform it. Not sure what is going on there.

Try it. We are yet to see major, nationwide physician strikes. If that is what it will take for society to realize the value provided, so be it. Without physicians, there is very little healing going on. You can't say the same for so m

I think Havana Syndrome was caused by non-human technology. Whether they have reverse-engineered it or not is the question.

9% is nothing when you consider that these people provide the value. With no physicians, there is no healthcare.

Physician reimbursement is only ~9% of national healthcare expenditures. I tell you this with certainty as a 3rd year medical student: If physician wages go down and tuition stays as is, no one will do this. Intrinsic motivation to help peo

It's really just not there yet. I've been in medical school for >3 years now and have been using the latest models with good prompting. They have gotten much better, but I still see misses that my classmates would easily catch.

Salaries for healthcare workers make up only a small portion of expenditures. You do not want to avoid a trip to your GP for an AI system. It'll be great at first while in development. But when profits need to be generated, seeing a sp

We would still have this problem. The heavier models make mistakes at too high a rate vs. a physician. Especially on imaging data. Real world data and patient presentations often deviate from the textbooks they are trained on. -Med student

I do not rely on the AI summaries from Google for health related inquiries. It has proven wrong too often. -Med student

Our understanding of genomic data is in its infancy. These people are idiots who don't know what they don't know.

I'm telling you all this as a medical student that has used the latest and greatest models with proper prompting for the past 3 years in school: There are a ton of misses. Especially on imaging. LLMs are not ready for consumer-facing h
