The specific case doesn't matter--it's meant to make you think about the general question throughout this thread: when an expert isn't available, should non-experts use AI (or other tools) to help themselves? Sometimes the answer is yes because the potential benefits outweigh the potential harms (if any harms exist). But sometimes the answer is no because misleading/incorrect advice can cause a net harm. | ||

But if the cases where AI use is a net positive are one in a million in medical situations? The argument is surely about the ratio, which many people here are arguing (from anecdote, would be interested to see a real study) is not in its favour, and the potential downsides - from both false positives and negatives - can be huge. | ||
