The next main root comment. 'Of the major specialties, it seams that radiology is the most in danger of disruption'.

I wonder how long people think about these sorts of claims before posting them.

Do they really think an AI is more likely to appropriately interpret an MRI scan (and all the anatomic, physics and pathophysiological data therein contained) in the context of a specific clinical work-up more easily than triage patients the way a family practitioner or ER doctor does?

I'm as skeptical about today's "AI" as you can get, but FWIW, medical community seems concerned about it. Going by what my acquaintance fresh out of medical school keeps telling me (and what the doctors chambers' publications seem to be saying), doctors are worried about the impact of AI on their jobs, and they believe the (IMO vastly exaggerated) claims of effectiveness of upcoming solutions. And radiology does seem to be at the forefront of this - the question whether it's even worth it to start specializing in radiology today is one seriously considered by graduates.

AI is not "interpret"ing. It is merely using a fitted distribution. Just because there are many degrees of freedom fitted does not make it magic.

There was no claim in that comment. "It seems" implies a personal opinion of the poster.
