    OK, but isn't that the main task of a GP doctor ? pattern recognition based on symptoms / the results of analysis / medical history ?

    All the actual human part of healthcare seems to, mostly, be done by nurses, not doctors.

      yeah but AI is just not that sophisticated in its reasoning like I said it's a crude tool. and the more sophisticated AI models don't explain their reasoning well

        Ah, fully agreed. Properly formatting the input data (especially ongoing symptoms) for the model would also be a nightmare; and yeah, there's a whole field about trying to pinpoint how the black box reached a decision - and it's not making much progress.

        Eventually, though ? it's really one job I could see mostly automated; earlier than most others.

          maybe personally I'm dubious that such an AI would be cost effective. But I am dubious in general of claims AI will revolutionise our society.
