🔦 Today's Spotlight
AI is advancing rapidly in healthcare. According to a June 2025 Microsoft report, its AI “Diagnostic Orchestrator” correctly diagnosed up to 85% of complex NEJM case studies – over four times the success rate of physicians. Other studies also show impressive results (one found ChatGPT achieved 90% accuracy on tough clinical vignettes versus 76% for doctors. At first glance, this “medical superintelligence” sounds transformative. But experts caution that these tests are narrow benchmarks, not everyday practice. In real clinics, AI’s “answers” can be wrong, incomplete or biased, and doctors play roles that machines can’t easily fill (empathy, managing uncertainty, tailoring care, etc.) In short, AI tools may outscore doctors in certain tests, but that doesn’t mean we should blindly hand off care.
The AI Promise – and Its Limits
AI can crunch vast medical knowledge quickly. Microsoft’s team reports that their orchestrated AI (using an OpenAI model) solved 85.5% of a set of challenging diagnostic cases – while a panel of experienced physicians averaged just 20%. The system was also more cost-efficient in ordering tests. Likewise, a JAMA Network Open study found LLM-alone median 92 % vs physician-only 74 % on six open-ended vignettes; when doctors had GPT-4 assistance their median was 76 %.. These results highlight AI’s potential: it can recall and process symptoms, labs and literature far faster than any human.
However, these scenarios are tightly controlled. The AI was tested on narrated case records (New England Journal of Medicine case series) or exam-style questions, with all clues given. In practice, patients’ presentations are messier. Doctors note that human reasoning involves hunches and probing questions – skills hard to capture in a multiple-choice or scripted setting. Even Microsoft admits that passing a test doesn’t equal true clinical judgment. In short, AI may challenge doctors on paper, but real-world medicine still needs clinical wisdom.
Real-World Stories: Promise and Caution
Anecdotes of AI “power” grab headlines. For example, in 2025 a young woman’s ChatGPT query suggested she might have blood cancer – a diagnosis doctors later confirmed as Hodgkin lymphoma. This case was spun as “ChatGPT saved her life,” and it did lead her to seek testing. But experts warn it’s just one story. Statistics don’t guarantee that next time AI will be right. For every success, there are many more failures or uncertainties.
Indeed, surveys show a complex public reaction. One U.S. study gave parents medical advice texts to read – some written by doctors and some generated by ChatGPT – without telling who wrote which. To the researchers’ surprise, parents rated the AI advice as more trustworthy and accurate than the doctor-written content. But even those researchers urged caution: the AI content sometimes contained outright errors (“hallucinations”), and trust in ChatGPT could lead parents to act on bad information One doctor summed it up: “These tools are promising, but not there yet,” warning that we risk “injecting hallucinated ‘AI slop’ into high-stakes patient care”
Such stories show both promise and peril. It’s human nature to share dramatic cases of AI doing better than doctors – but science relies on large studies, not viral anecdotes. For now, patients and caregivers should treat AI input as just one opinion, not an infallible diagnosis.
Risks of Blind Trust
Healthcare AI can and does make mistakes. Key risks include:
Hallucinations and errors: AI language models can confidently give wrong answers. In one study, ChatGPT gave an “inappropriate” medical response to 20% of test questions. This means 1 in 5 answers could mislead a patient or doctor. Importantly, many of today’s AI assistants for medicine (like symptom checkers or decision support tools) use the same underlying LLM technology. A physician relying on these uncritically might transmit errors to a patient.
Embedded biases: AI learns from historical data, which often contains human biases. A recent Nature Medicine study found that adding SDOH/race terms changed answers in clinical-trial-matching & MQA tasks, sometimes yielding harmful recommendations.. For example, models were more likely to push Black or low-income patients toward urgent care or invasive tests, and less likely to offer costly diagnostics to the poor, regardless of actual need. These biased patterns do not reflect sound medicine and could worsen inequities. In contrast, real doctors’ recommendations varied far less by demographics.
Overconfidence in anecdotes: Success stories like the one above can lure people into trusting AI too much. But experts warn: for each viral “AI diagnosed my cancer” story, there are many silent cases of AI missing or mischaracterizing serious problems. A small case series or news article isn’t proof of reliability. As one AI researcher noted, people can’t always tell AI advice from expert advice so misleading AI answers can go unchecked.
Lack of oversight: Remarkably, many AI tools enter clinics without formal approval. For instance, transcription and messaging AI systems are already in use, yet because they only assist doctors (not make decisions independently), they dodge strict FDA review. This means the quality of their outputs isn’t guaranteed. Physicians are supposed to catch and correct any errors, but in busy practice mistakes can slip through. Without robust regulation, there’s no solid guardrail ensuring an AI’s advice is safe or evidence-based.
Physician accountability: Doctors are still legally responsible for patient care. If a doctor blindly follows an AI’s recommendation and it leads to harm, the doctor – not the AI – faces malpractice risk. Many clinicians know this: surveys find doctors are hesitant to use AI, fearing they could be seen as “practicing below the standard of care” if the AI is wrong In other words, trusting an AI without oversight could backfire on both patient and doctor.
Ethical and Legal Concerns
AI in medicine raises thorny issues beyond just accuracy:
Liability is murky. Currently, if an AI misdiagnosis hurts a patient, it’s unclear who’s to blame. A 2025 review notes there is “no prominent line of responsibility between healthcare providers, AI developers, and regulators” for AI errors. This legal gray zone means patients might struggle to get compensation or accountability. Lawyers report a spike in AI-related claims – malpractice cases involving AI rose about 14% from 2022 to 2024, mostly from radiology and oncology misreads. Courts are still deciding whether to treat AI like a faulty machine (product liability) or a part of medical decision-making (malpractice).
Need for oversight and standards. Medical groups are calling for strict rules. The American Medical Association urges that AI tools be developed “in a manner that is ethical, equitable, responsible, accurate and transparent” Legislators are acting: by mid-2025, over 250 state bills had been introduced to regulate healthcare AI (covering transparency, bias, patient consent, etc.)The FDA and other agencies have also begun drafting guidelines – for example, recommending that AI devices clearly state their intended use and validated performance. These efforts show regulators know trust can’t be assumed; it must be earned.
Privacy and consent. AI often relies on patient data (records, images, genetics) to function. This raises privacy questions: who can see that data, and could an AI inadvertently reveal it? Health laws like HIPAA were written before today’s AI. Experts warn we need new privacy safeguards specifically for AI systems, to prevent unintended disclosures or misuse of sensitive information.
Human judgment matters. Even aside from legalities, many believe doctors must stay “in the loop.” As Microsoft’s blog itself acknowledges, doctors do more than spit out a diagnosis – they interpret nuance, weigh patient values, and build trust. An AI simply returning an answer has no bedside manner or ethical understanding. Medical ethicists argue that completely deferring to an algorithm could undermine the patient–doctor relationship and individualised care.
Conclusion: A Tool, Not a Panacea
AI is a powerful new tool that can augment doctors’ abilities. It can sort through symptom patterns, literature, and data at superhuman speed, and in some tests it has beat human clinicians. This means physicians (and patients) should certainly pay attention and learn to use AI wisely.
But trusting an AI more than an experienced doctor at this stage is premature. Experts agree that human oversight is essential. For now, an AI’s suggestion should be treated like a second opinion: helpful to consider, but never taken as gospel. Patients with concerning symptoms should always consult a qualified clinician, and doctors should critically appraise any AI input before acting on it.
AI shows extraordinary promise in diagnostics (85–90% accuracy in tests), but it can err, inherit biases, and lacks common-sense judgment. Real-life use today requires caution, transparency, and ongoing doctor oversight. Rigorous testing, regulations, and clear accountability are needed before we can trust AI as much as (or more than) a human physician.

That’s crazy! But no surprise. Sadly the quality of doctors has been shit the last decade and more. I went to one doc for feelings of tiredness, fatigue, and lack of sleep. Know what his solution was? Give me Adderall during the day to keep me awake and a prescription sleep aid at night to help me sleep. What in the actual fuck? Hopefully this is a wake up call to physicians to get back in their game and do what they were trained to do…actually help people and not just put a bandaid on symptoms rather than treating root causes.
