I've started asking my doctors whether they use AI, and if they say yes look for another one.

That study seems to be confounding factors and rushing to a questionable conclusion.

A very plausible explanation for the adenoma detection rate to have gone down is simply that its prevalence went down among the population in the second three-month period.

This was not a randomized trial. Concluding that "AI usage degrades physicians' skills" is questionable at the very least.

There's a whole bunch of other studies on this topic, as well as metastudies, and from what I can tell the problem is real.

I don’t even trust AI to proofread my emails.
