It will not be free, and it will misdiagnose exactly the same way as a human doctor would.
I’d argue that what Saraphim described, -their friend dying from being constantly misdiagnosed due to weight- is the perfect example of what we will be able expect from an AI doctor. These machine learning algorithms lack fidelity, which is most needed to understand a complex problem.
Furthermore they have no concept of ethics or morals, and the data they train on reflects the imperfections of our society.
So for example if all the doctors are biased towards overweight women, the AI trained on their diagnostic data will be too.

AI doesnt exist but will ruin everything anyways
One day AI will be a useful tool but to get there, one of the things we must do is be very critical of it.
