In this case it seems to me that LLMs in medicine pretty much are just better for everyone with no real downsides. Im not a doctor but have 2 in my family I speak with regularly and from how they talk about it care is pretty much just unequivocally better now because they dont have to be sitting at the computer taking notes all the time. It removed a huge part of the process that neither patients nor doctors enjoyed.

Are prices going down, as they need to do less work per patient?

Or are the providers just pocketing the difference?

Given that prices are definitely not going down, I'm not sure how this makes my life any better.

Well instead of staring at a computer the whole time now they can actually make eye contact with you. IMO that alone makes my life quite a bit better
