    I’m excited for this application of AI, because in many lower-income countries doctors are not trained particularly well and people do not have access to a western standard of diagnosis. Being able to have a consultation with an AI doctor who is more knowledgeable and accurate than local doctors would be life changing for millions, if that comes to pass.

    We all know this isn’t replacing doctors. We do know that when applied correctly, this will assist doctors and other clinical specialists in their work. With doctor burnout at all time highs, I think stuff like this is amazing.

    IMO if anything will get us to longevity escape velocity, it's AI. This is why I'm so fundamentally against the anti AI folk. Their jobs simply are not worth the chance that we can evolve this into AGI and achieve escape velocity, saving billions of lives.

    ..according to Google. They have a track record of over-promising and then delivering something functionally worse than OpenAI.

    Please update the title to the correct one: "Google Says Its Med-Gemini AI Healthcare Models Beat GPT-4"

    Looking at their past shenanigans "Google Says..." makes it mean a whole different thing...
