I think the person was suggesting using the results of the AI to inform the doctors, not replacing them. Which is something I would like as well

Automated diagnosis applications have existed for decades. They have proven useful in limited circumstances for certain specialties and rare conditions but for routine medical care they're more hassle than they're worth.
There isn’t enough humanity in healthcare to begin with. Replacement of doctors with AI sounds pretty horrific. General practice isn’t where healthcare costs are going bonkers, and it seems weird to want to cost-cut something that actually kind of works in favor of bullshit.
Know what would be a great use of AI? Something real like analyzing all of the telemetry in EMRs to provide better guidance to doctors to proactively guide people. Some CVSHealth chatbot telling me whatever is a waste of time.
