That's going to be frustrating as fuck. The last thing I want to deal with in the ER is argue with a chat bot.

You can kiss goodbye ever getting any kind of health or life insurance once you’ve been diagnosed by Dr Google with a serious illness.

Just live in a country with socialised medicine.

Fortunately I do, but if they are going to use AI for medical purposes it needs to be operated by a company that won’t start spamming me with ads for adult nappies/diapers after I’ve had my prostate out.

If AI can improve diagnostics it would be a huge win for everyone, since we have a lack of doctors and the one we have are overworked. For the diapers adds, there is always adblock.

Agreed, but I want it run by a medical company, not an ad company. While I run an ad blocker, I don’t want Google to have the data in the first place.

Fair enough. Pretty sure it wont work with EU regulations anyway - patient data, at least in Germany is rather well protected, to a point it's even hard doing research.

Don’t have the same level of privacy protection in Australia as the EU, but medical data is still relatively well protected from commercial entities.

It's interesting, since a big part of medicine study is memorising fuck ton of information, while becoming a "good" doctor is allot about practical experience.
