      Submission Statement:

      # A new study published in the important journal Science reveals that OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model correctly diagnosed 67% of cases in triage – compared to 50%-55% among experienced doctors. When looking at who plans better treatment after diagnosis, the gap deepens in favor of AI: “You can easily imagine a system running in the background on the electronic record and detecting diagnostic errors.”

    2. As a woman, I think I would be more inclined to trust ai over a male doctor. The amount of women that have died because their health concerns were brushed off is so shocking. So many stories of women presenting with symptoms multiple times only to be brushed off or told just to lose weight only to wind up having stage 4 cancer or something is so depressing. Something that also stuck with me was a redditor sharing a story about how their mothers health was ignored and after she passed apparently there was sooo much tissue from her endometriosis that a doctor had said she would have been in unimaginable pain almost constantly. And anyone who has had that tissue bind to their bowels or other parts of their body would very much understand how painful it is.

      That’s interesting. I wonder if you have different ai and it might overlap and increase detection rates

    4. I’ve had a lot of health issues over the years. Cancer survivor to boot. There are certainly good diagnosticians out there, but they seem few and far between. I’ve been a patient of every major NYC medical system – some of the best doctors in the world in theory – and have been completely shocked.

      ERs seem to be the worst. Really horrible place to need to go in the worst moment of your life.

      I’m afraid of death, but I’m afraid of spending the last hours of my life in an ER even more.

      If AI can improve this, I’m all for it. I am required to get yearly colonoscopies and a few years ago they started using AI to identify polyps early.

    5. This is obvious to anyone deep into Ai. Most of medical diagnosis is perfect for Ai. With more wearable tech we will have less and less people relying on overpaid doctors. Many doctors were google searching prior to Ai.
