I generally agree with you, but one thing I _hope_ AI can lead to is me being able to actually consult something resembling a medical professional. It's so difficult to get time with my doctor, and when I do, I get swept out the door ASAP.
My hour long yearly physical takes 15 minutes and my miscellaneous questions get brushed off. I have some sort of eczema on my hand and he told me to use lotion. After telling him I do, he said to keep doing it. It had been six months then and now 18 months. Problem is still there.
Just today I finally found a dermatologist. Soonest appointment I could get from the ones I called is May of 2027.
At a certain point, I hope LLMs can provide at least basic medical help reliably because I can't get the opportunity to ask a doctor to begin with.
