The unfortunate reality is that when you have a doctor you're also rolling the dice. I've had been misdiagnosed a few times in my life. These misdiagnosis were very disruptive but luckily not life threatening.

And you trust an LLM trained on Reddit and Twitter not to misdiagnose you?

That's not what I said. There are probably plenty of situations (more standard) where doctors do a good job. The doctors also have the benefit of performing a physical exam, ordering various tests etc. so they have more data.

My point still stands though. They definitely mess things up. At the very least LLMs can be an additional tool that doesn't have the subjective bias, the cost issue, or lack of time/desire to investigate deeper or listen to the patient.

EDIT: LLMs would be better if they could access case data. Maybe that's something to consider (anonymized).
