Not this ignorant comment again. AI will replace software engineers long before it replaces doctors. There is an arrogant ignorance of what doctors do that always shows up in comments when topics like this pop up.

And yes I'm a physician and MLE. So i understand both worlds clearly



Well look at that! If it isn’t another member of the medical mafia on HN.

It is kind of funny to see comments complain about the lack of perfect sensitivity and specificity of their physicians.

We complain about the same thing from the the various ML techniques in radiology which currently are pitiful and a gigantic waste of time and money. When I went into rads I was pretty worried about ML - not anymore.

I’m hoping this upcoming recession will dry out a lot of institutional use of ML. In radiology it’s not that helpful and there’s no technical fee increase for it. But you can advertise with it i guess? Commercials with lasers, robots, and AI with pleasant voice overs about cutting edge techniques and getting the care you need in the 21st century and blah blah blah


But we all saw House, Grey's Anatomy and Emergency Room. So we know exactly what doctors do!
