If some aspect of medical care can be effectively automated, we should do it. We should do everything we can to make medical care more affordable. Nobody wants to put you in particular out of a job but frankly if you're arguing that we should keep medical care more expensive because you deserve to get money for a job that a computer can do better, that's a tough argument.

Fwiw, I've heard you guys aren't getting replaced by this stuff anyway.

I I’m just saying it’s not practical for everyone to be replaced because it will crush the economy.

Your health depends on you having money to buy food.

I agree we shouldn't use this thing for cultural expression like art and writing, but if all your job entails is interpreting radiological images, and a computer can do it faster, better, and cheaper, you should probably learn some new skills.

We're not talking about the wider economy here, we're talking about radiology in particular.

I don't think the plan is to stop at radiology.

The purpose of the economy is to fairly allocate resources to people. Labor is a resource. If we suddenly have no scarcity of labor, that should mean everyone is wealthier than before. If the economy is crushed by suddenly having a limitless supply of a resource, it means the economy isn't able to allocate resources fairly, which is a problem with the economy, not the resource.

I'm an optimist and I think people can make the economy adapt to the problem of suddenly being richer than it was previously.

The problem as ever is equity.
