    LLM are not even the right type of AI to try to do medical diagnosis with. Stop treating LLMs like they can fucking think and reason. They do not.

      There literally are probably a dozen LLM models trained exclusively on or fined tuned on medical papers and other medical materials, specifically designed to do medical diagnosis. The already perform on pair or better than the average doctors in some tests. It’s already a thing. And they will get better. Will they replace doctors outright, probably not at least not for a while. But they certainly will be very helpful tools to help doctors make diagnosis and miss blind spots. I’d bet in 5-10 years it will be considered malpractice (i.e., below the standard of care) not to consult with a specialized LLM when making certain diagnosis.

      On the other hand, you make a very compelling argument of “nuh uh” so I guess I should take that into account.
