In most cases the diagnosis is the easy part. The hard part is gathering the signs and symptoms necessary to make the diagnosis. AI isn't particularly helpful for that.

Yep - and the hardest part about getting the input signs and symptoms data is that patients often don’t know the words to describe what they’re feeling.

LLMs are not going to help if the input data is also garbage, let alone hallucinations.

“Are you dizzy?” - sometimes, I’m not sure… etc
