Yeah 100% this. We've all used AI. It's obvious that it can sometimes outperform humans in a "did it get the right answer" benchmark while being wildly worse overall because of worse failure modes.

I bet the AI's incorrect answers are less "I don't know, let's get a second opinion" and more "you're perfectly fine, 0% chance this is cancer".
