But most of us live in America in 2026. There are a lot of interests that don't give a shit about you who would love if you to got your medical care from a machine that "cannot tell how many r's are in strawberry". And there a lot of useful idiots with no real medical issues who will loudly claim the machine is great.

I cannot agree more. Useful idiots and people working in private equity which have a direct financial interest to hype this tech.
