> The last thing I want is to read through pages of AI blogspam at the doctors office

I think you underestimate how much of an effect the doctor's style of response can have on patients. A curt response and an embellished response may both provide the same facts, but the latter is more likely to resonate with people. At the end of the day, everyone thinks they're special and not just "another patient".

I am not advocating for "pages of AI blogspam" -- LLMs can be instructed to craft better responses than that -- in the real world, doctors suffer from empathy "drain" very often, LLMs don't.

That's all well and good if the patient doesn't know they're interacting with an AI though!

To clarify, my stance on this whole thing is mixed.
