Honestly of all the professions that could be enhanced by AI, medicine has the most to gain. An AI can remember a much larger data set than any human and look for correlations among many more dimensions.

Yes that's what I think as well. And it's sad that medical data being weaponized against you is the thing that takes more sound bytes than how medical data collection can improve diagnosis and healthcare.

The great thing is even LLMs who only take text input still can yield better results than doctors. Think about a healthcare system which utilizes transformers working on images etc.
