People who don’t have a trusted health care provider are more likely than people with one to believe or lean toward believing several common myths about vaccines, a new KFF Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust reveals.
It is an interesting use case. When A.I. first really became a thing I put in my symptoms and it told me I have a combination of three health conditions. Went to a doctor, specifically asked for those tests, and I had 2/3. These were very obscure conditions that doctors don’t normally test for or know about, and up 'till then I’d assumed it was all in my head. But if I’d blindly trusted it I’d think I had an extra condition.
Yes blindly trusting it is not a good idea, but for complex issues it’s very good at taking reams of data and synthesizing it into likely diagnosis. Far better than humans in my experience, probably mostly because humans don’t have the time to review your full medical history or case history on an issue: AI can hold all that and examine it together. It’s made very important diagnoses for me at least. As long as there’s a real doctor in the loop, it works great as a second opinion to fill in gaps that the doctor may have missed.
