I recommend reading "Do machines actually beat doctors?" by Dr. Luke Oakden-Rayner, who is both a radiology doctor and deep learning researcher.

Hey, thanks for liking the article. I was just looking at my blog stats and they had a bit of spike when you wrote this.

I'm just getting down to writing some posts about the big question the New Yorker article introduces, but doesn't really make any real progress with: will machines actually replace doctors.

Hope you enjoy them :)

>Can’t call me a cynical, turf-protecting doctor now.

I think the overall tone of the article is a bit harsh on the machines, especially considering the coda.
