I agree. I think the issue with LLM’s are not with the correct diagnoses’s but rather the incorrect ones.

Real doctors tend to have a degree of cautiousness. I would rather a real doctor be hesitate and seek more information, than an alarmist LLM suggesting I have cancer.



Yeah apparently my comment wasn't clear enough. If you can get the opinion of a doctor then good for you. I'm saying an LLM is the best some of us can get.


Oh right. Almost everyone in the world has free and easy access to actual doctors.

For that one country that doesn’t maybe universal healthcare can be an Anthropic model.


I live in a country with "free and universal" healthcare (Brazil). And guess what? I also pay for private healthcare and both sucks. Even the local private doctors (outside of healthcare) aren't that great and they are expensive. Maybe your local reality is different but for us that live the other side of the coin AI is a net positive.
