After going in suspicious, this actually sounds like a pretty decent idea.
The technology isn’t stopping or going away any more than the cotton gin did. May as well put control in as many hands as possible. The alternative is putting it under the sole control of a few megacorps, which seems worse. Is there another option I’m not seeing?
The last time I went to a doctor, they read a list of questions from a form, entered my answers into their system, and then said they’d get back to me in a couple weeks to tell me if my insurance company would allow a follow-up. That appointment should have been a web page.
Most doctor’s appointments I’ve had recently have followed the same pattern. A good doctor is invaluable. A burnt-out noob doctor following strict procedure is like a worse GPT that your have to meet in a building full of every conceivable virus, and that costs $500 instead of $0.05. A motivated layman with GPT4 and a prescription pad would have beaten 3 out of 4 doctors I’ve seen since covid.
This is just my experience in the US mind you. Maybe I’ve had bad luck with humans, but I haven’t been impressed since all of the experienced ones retired.
