Bedside manner, you say? Get back to us with it's clinical success rates.

If you stop being in the replace mindset, you could see the following happen...

1. Patient gets tests / imaging

2. Doctor does analysis

3. AI double checks

4. Doctor writes final report

5. AI communicates with more empathy

If you haven't had a dbag doctor, you might not know how an AI might be preferable to that experience

Step 3.5 Doctor rewrites analysis to go with whatever the AI spits out because:

* Too busy (assumptions were made that patient load could increase with ML support)

* Too scared of being sued even if the doctor disagrees

* Too scared of being fired because the doctor keeps overriding the "cost effective" ML verdicts

We've seen this play out over and over in the medical field. I've watched my Primary Care physician go from angst over patient outcomes to angst over statistical outcomes for his department. It took 15 years, but the system got him.

I'd rather have a dbag doctor than a computer with fake emotions.

Everyone has preferences, many people will prefer fake emotions over condescendence or elitism

People should have a choice

True and if they're leading with their fucking feels when making major life decisions their arrested emotional development is liable to land them in deeply regrettable circumstances.
