Using AI as a tool to find additional information? Sure, could be doable maybe.
Asking sycophantic ”you’re absolutely correct” machines for second opinion? Absolutely not!

The thing is the AIs that doctors are using aren't just the commercially available chatgpt or Gemini, they are specialized, tuned for accuracy and only trained on medical articles.
Imagine believing that they'll use general purpose free chatgpt. Just amazing these scenarios you all invent. I can't tell if it's just straight blind prejudice or you all really don't understand how it can integrate into tooling with very specific models.
