Obviously annecdotal, but a couple years ago my friends kid was sick, and doctors were trying to figure out what was going on. My friend threw the symptoms and test results into ChatGPT, and it said the likely cause was leukemia. A few hours later the doctors handed them an official leukemia diagnosis.

I think AI, like in all other fields, will become a great tool to help augment. Throw the patient data in and get a response and that can be the first thing the doctor checks for, but they shouldn't simply take AI as truth.

P.S. friends kid is doing great - it was caught early enough. They are due to be completely done with treatment in just a couple months!
