I read the book Complications by Atul Gawande a while back and it touched on this issue. He mentioned how a computer was more accurate at detecting heart attacks than an experience doctor. He also talked about how if the computer is better than the doctor at reading things like these, it really doesn't make much sense for the doctor to have to evaluate/approve the results. Kind of reminds me of James Simons' thought process on quantitative trading at RenTech.

Sorry about the lack of technical knowledge into the CS stuff, first post here and I haven't really put in the time to learn about CS and AI yet.

No need to apologize, you made an interesting and relevant comment. The fact that you feel the need to apologize is more telling of the culture you perceive in this site than of your lack of knowledge in any area.

I posted this comment about 15 minutes after I discovered Hacker News. Wasn't sure on the culture here compared to places like reddit. It seems to be similar to the more specialized subreddits.
