I was at the doctor yesterday because when I was in the states I came in contact with a bunch of Poison Oak. Needless to say my legs are pretty infected so I wanted to see if there was anything they could give me to help.
What does this have to do with AI? Just wait.
The first doctor comes in and looks at it and has no clue what to do, I told him I used dish soap as the internet told me to stop it from spreading. I got the WTF look...
He goes and gets a second doctor, he comes in and is like "What is Poison Oak". Same story to him and he tells me "Lets see what AI says". He pulls out his phone and types in Poison Oak Treatment, literally showing me on his phone and reads it outload to the 3 of us. He laughed and was like, apparently Dish Soap does work... Then prescribed some steroid cream that the internet recommended because he had no clue what this was.
The fact he felt comfortable admitting he had no clue how to treat me and used AI (aka the internet) right in front of me was hilarious. Needless to say, my legs are doing much better today.
Now, what if I could of just taken a picture and entered some diagnosis details into an AI Doctor and it could of spit out the same information for an over the counter medication and saved me a trip to the doctor. Maybe then it gets delivered by drone to my house in 5 minutes.... To think what kind of world our kids will live in.
