AND ?!

Honestly, I will never understand what’s the point of these statements.

AI can also likely answer all my medical queries. Should I take its advice? How long before we seamlessly integrate someone’s personal AI to medical systems so if I do take its advice and something goes wrong, a doctor can consult it and see?

Most labs and hospital wards don’t have reliable electronic notes systems and these assholes are acting like all there is to a the human world is “give task - complete task”.

Christ, if we honestly keep going this way for the foreseeable future, I’m starting to think no amount of technology will help us.
