This would effectively freeze all development and leave us collectively stuck at the current level of expertise.
If every doctor trains an ML algo, then forgets how to be a doctor, then medicine stops dead at that level.

This seems like its happening at some hedge funds as well for stock picking.
I guess the closed system of the game rules is more manageable than all of medicine, but... I can't agree with "stuck as the current level of expertise".
It's very rare that technology becomes ubiquitous and free very quickly. You will still need doctors in poor areas, destitute countries, and in the military.
Still, education and society would likely optimize for getting people to the edge of knowledge more quickly if ML algos truly took over a field like medicine.
