If the treatment option is pain killers, than you don't need an AI, you need a parent. I once had this tech hubris on medicine too and about 10 years ago, before AI was cool, I did some grad research on predicting breast cancer survivability thinking that I would get some award for solving cancer. For various reasons that are obvious to an oncologist but not to a lunarpunk, it failed miserably. I have not tried to re run my hypothesis, it would be interesting.

But it sounds like you are hedging your bets Juraj. If you are so confident in your AI diagnosis why even waste your time with the human confirmation?! If you wanted to do this scientifically, pay some task rabbits to go various hospitals in various countries and report the same symptoms and gather the results :p

The treatment option is not painkillers, it’s a “I don’t know what to do with you please go away” option.

The doctors were first, they did not solve the problem, so going online is a better option. I have several examples of this over the past few years.

Ah OK, yeah that's sad. There is a lot of potential for AI to replace the "let's go away" approach I'll agree.
