This is the essence of how to make the medical system work for you. Advocate for yourself. AI helps know what to ask, why you should ask, and how to get past the first few layers of dismissals.
In this case it took roughly four years for AI to suggest a test. How should we interpret the utility of AI in this situation?
You don't understand. They were only able to feed in information that they obtained with their human medical team. So the AI was heavily constrained in what it knew.
AI was able to suggest a test for four years and it didn't, and I'm wondering why it didn't.
Again, this seems more like an indictment of the American medical system than kudos for AI.
For the developers here, consider: "So our CI pipeline is super flaky, and it you have to restart it in a variety of non-intuitive ways. LLMs have been a massive breakthrough because the bot can run in an endless loop reading the confusing error messages and retrying the pipeline with different environment variables until it passes!"
Many healthcare systems wouldn't provide the 5 ivf transplantations or the mri, so I think they ended up in a good place
