“AI” for my work is a faster, better search engine.

As far as “making diagnosis 100% of the time” - it’s a lie, a big one.

The owners want AI + Nurse Practitioner to be a superior product - and it is, for coding, for billing, and for compliance with government regulations.

I have made my way in this world for the past 50 years making the diagnosis in complex or difficult cases. This work involves thinking outside the box and gpoing against the guidelines or the rules.

For that - AI is a joke. AI does what it is told to do. It doesn’t get tired, it always answers the question the same way, and it has browsed more content of the medical literature (which is wrong 50% of the time) than I ever could.

If I could figure out how to make money selling AI short, I would.

So far AI seems mostly consensus driven and includes all that is wrong in the consensus.

It is good enough for clues and a coarse comb.

When it comes down to either opinion or best practice it is indeterminate.

Nothing beats reasoned and knowledge backed experience, gut feel and gestault.

I claim not to be a Luddite but I am very cautious and skeptical of black boxes created by anyone.

In your world I am sure you are the smartest person in that world. Howsomever, there are many worlds, and there are many people like you, and some are smarter probably. Since you are not sure how to short AI, you can change that to probably lol. There are a lot of worlds out there, and you must make the assumption that a lot of those guys are smarter than you and they are right. I can relate a humorus story you might enjoy, the story of the Bonanza V35 in 1950's, that is a fascinating story and apropos to your post. goes along with what you're posting.
