I think the fairest test is: what is the best and fastest way to reduce medical uncertainty? For rare ailments with a single cause and exclusive symptoms, that can be accurately described with simple language (no medical jargon), its possible that an LLM is better than a doctor.

For more ambiguous situations where you need actual tests, I am skeptical of using LLMs.
