Doctors went from 75% accuracy without AI to 85% accuracy when using AI for diagnosis. In the future it will be malpractice for your doctor to not be using AI. This is such a clear societal benefit, that it alone should cause everyone to be much more pro AI progress.

New paper shows a familiar result on LLMs & medicine: Doctors given clinical vignettes produce significantly more accurate diagnoses when using a custom GPT built with the (obsolete) GPT-4 than doctors with Google/Pubmed but not AI. Yet AI alone is as accurate as doctors + AI.

Great AI performance. Nevertheless, for not-using AI to be malpractice, AI needs to become standard-of-care. The path to SOC is long, arduous, and quite uncertain (speaking from experience). So I'd refrain from "malpractice" wording at this point
You buried the lede -- AI is as accurate or more accurate than doctors plus AI. In the future, it will be malpractice to have humans diagnosing you, full stop.
Yup and here is a team that is taking it to a new level:

Meet the team at a hot Silicon Valley AI company. 🚨 Just visited Sully AI in Mountain View. They’re not building a tool for healthcare — they’re building a team of AI agents that act like digital medical assistants. 📞 Answers the phone 🧠 Supports the doctor in real time 📋

ai is just another tool. doctors still need to know when to override it.

Friend who is a doctor told me everyone in his hospital uses ChatGPT now. Me: “Do you all use o3?” Him: “No, 4o. Isn’t it best to use the latest model? 4 vs 3?” @OpenAI we really gotta fix these model names 🤦‍♂️
In the future there not going to be a human doctor. The doctor and most highly educated professional will be completely eliminated. Yes today it’s a renaissance, but 10 years with robotics, the death of the moat, you will get something I fear.
