Maybe diagnosis assistance, but I was specifically responding to the idea that the AI may deliver information. The risk that this information may not be correct even 0.01% of the time will be considered unacceptable from a legal and regulatory perspective. A PDF surgical technique can be guaranteed to be accurate.

That’s sort of what I mean when it comes to the AI working with plug-ins - so you’d have a specifically designed {insert medical conglomerate name here } AI vetted and maintained around a particular purpose, say idk noticing suspicious tumors during or outputting information on what’s going on where it’s needed in the system. It could be helpful even with very simple stuff.

One of my roles has been writing surgical edu content, and I’ve used OpenAI to output procedure descriptions. I’ve unfortunately found that they were 99% accurate and then jumbled some significant thing..

One of the GPs I had in my life gave me the medical book to diagnose myself and when I said that’s his job he just picked something randomly and gave me some pills (that I obviously didn’t pick up). Humans are generally worse than a dice for mostly everything. Gpt might be right sometimes and at least won’t be wrong out of laziness or malice (maybe; we don’t understand why it does what it does beyond statistical text prediction).
