alt Hacker NewsDoctors talk to patients?
I know. I know. Part of it is that talking to patients on average is useless but still this can’t be really used for an argument against AI.
Still doctors can have a more broad picture of the situation since they can look at the patient as a whole; something the LLM can’t really synthesize in its context.
There’s really nothing preventing an LLM from having the context a doctor does. The two avenues of context gathering by the doctor are:
- looking at their medical history/charts
- asking follow up questions
An LLM based system is trivially capable of doing both of those.
