Hah

As for AI doctors, I considered it early on but it seems less and less likely with each passing day. A more likely and reasonable outcome would be AI assisted care enabling healthcare providers to care for more people each. Ideally, hospitals and medical networks will run the custom generative tools locally and no patient data will leave the network. Reducing the busy work and admin load might also save money that could be used to hire more HCPs.

Of course, that societal benefit only happens in places where healthcare is not for profit. In places with for profit care, it just flows more money to the investor's pockets. Given who's saying this
