> Ultimately credentialed professionals like medicine and law will never be replaced by LLMs because LLMs cannot be held responsible for the medical regimes they place patients under (or the legal advice they give).

It’s not quite the same as what you are saying, but things are changing quickly.

Software is diagnosing pathology in radiology now. Software made up at least 3/4 of the pixels in the MRI scans I acquire. Sometimes it makes up more than that as every second slice is made up too.

Clinic letters are being written by applications that listen to the consult with the patient and write up a summary (for the clinician to authorise).

Why would things be changing quickly now when old-school AI have been out-diagnosing doctors for years?

Again, like I said, doctors are ultimately responsible for the final call made. So no amount of AI will replace any doctors. It may remove some toil, but they cannot be replaced.

Was the previous test Done with massive amounts of structured input which would be incredibly time-consuming for the doctor involved? I think the difference now is that we’re talking About making diagnosis with minimal extra work or time from the clinicians

The tools actually save time and effort now, and don’t have a steep learning curve.

At least that’s my view from radiology as a tech.
