About 70 percentage points better than my doctor. Nice!
Yeah, medicine is one of the areas where I really feel like AI could make serious strides. Most people don't have a doctor they see regularly anyway so any input would be welcome. Anecdotally I've known several people who were misdiagnosed or just had doctors not believe them.
Of course I'd want to be able to escalate and have different treatment options but I could probably be ok with AI-assisted medicine.
