The vast majority of modern medical practice is not diagnosing one-in-a-million conditions that escaped the attention of the rest of the medical establishment. It's increasingly about geriatric care, including dealing with people of diminished mental acuity. Add to this ~20% of the population who believes that vaccines cause chemtrails and you're really not solving a lot by giving people a sycophantic chatbot not beholden by consequences of its actions, willing to entertain any theory of what might be wrong with me.

Again, I think AI has applications in these niches - I really don't think we need doctors personally prescribing viagra or itch cream - but a lot of healthcare is people management.
