alt Hacker NewsI personally will not use a provider who uses llm tools. I know it makes me and my coworkers less careful and lazier. Qualities I dont want in a health care providor.
Ive actually moved primary care physicians over this once already, found the oldest guy I could who barely knows how to use a laptop but spends a bunch of extra time with me.

The older the doctor the more experience they have, but also their knowledge is more outdated (how many keep up with medical journals?) and their brain is worse at learning and connecting dots so I'm not sure I'd choose the oldest I could find.
My current provider shows me their computer monitor for the entire appointment. I didn’t ask for that treatment but I really appreciate it.
When LLMs stop helping me with my work, I’ll stop going to doctors who use them.
Too bad for me, it’s a real mixed bag. I need a doctor who is an AI-using LLM skeptic, I guess.
Likewise. I basically
- will not see a “provider”. A doctor (MD/DO) only please.
- will not see a doctor who uses LLM tools (or therapists for that matter)
- Make it abundantly clear that if you do then we’re not a match.
- Will pay significantly more/go out of my way for for this.
Funny how we assess risk. Not criticising you - I'm as irrational as the next guy - but "I found the oldest doctor I could" seems like it has a different set of risks baked in.
