> AI helps in some areas (e.g. assisting medical diagnoses)

Increasingly (and I think certainly in the above case) AI is used as shorthand for genAI (which is unsurprising, as up until recently most AI-ish things got called ML anyway). I certainly hope no-one's using LLMs for medical diagnoses...

> I wonder if the author would refuse to receive a diagnosis from a doctor if the diagnosis was AI-assisted?

It really depends on what you mean by 'AI-assisted', IMO. If you mean that the doctor had asked a chatbot, I'd very much be looking for a second opinion. What sort of AI assistance did you have in mind.



>What sort of AI assistance did you have in mind.

The designed-for-medicine kind, not the ChatGPT kind.
