Counter-argument: what if LLMs can help alleviate a doctor's work by providing quick diagnostic for simple cases? How much time does a doctor spend writing prescriptions for cough-like symptoms? How much time does an ophthalmologist spend measuring eye sight? I totally agree that this is a bit of a radical opinion, and not everybody would be pleased with the idea of a program making diagnosis, so I am not fully advocating for it, but I think that we should not limit the potential of AI. Also, to point out to France specifically. We need more teachers, yet new teachers are treated as commodities (you have to relocate to wherever the Education nationale tells you to go and in most cases, that means new teachers are relocated to difficult areas). We need more doctors, yet the number of new doctors each year is fixed by the number of people that are allowed to pass the exam.
