Last time I went to the ER the doctor used a scope to look down my throat and check everything seemed fine. I don't think pure AI like ChatGPT will be able to do that any time soon. Maybe a medical robot with AI will one day, but that seems at least a few years off.

Yes I don't want a robot shoving anything down my throat anytime soon. I don't even want my car connected to the Internet. Whatever happened to people who kept a loaded handgun in case their printer acted up?

I think the previous post was just referring to remote doctors purely interpreting imaging. Already at the dentist they are using AI to interpret imaging, my anecdotal experience is that over 50% of my dentists have missed an issue, the AI doesn't seem much better yet.

Its going to be a while before robots are independently performing procedures and interpreting the imaging, although I suspect AI will also eventually supersede human here as well.
