While I am too ignorant to have an opinion about whether AI is a good idea, I do think that ungating relatively safe medications from needing an MD's prescription is a good idea.

You don't have to go to medical school to know what bad acne looks like, or how to treat a UTI. We should be working on tiering prescriptions based on ease of diagnosis and risk.

I don't think any of it's a good idea. There are a lot of fields where using AI (especially in its current form) is just careless.
