And the alternative is the status quo, and it's not very good.
And I can see a thousand ways that this will make it better.
So I think uh that part I'm very excited about.
I think the long haul, it's really hard to know where this goes.
Mostly 'cause I I I think that there are just a thousand different use cases for AI and uh basically everything humans do, AI will eventually be able to do a version of it.
what has been often highly touted, and I you guys know this from all your work and predictions of of you know when someone's gonna to die.
It's it it doesn't it i I don't think it's a done deal that knowing that number to the 32nd decimal place is more helpful than knowing that number through c some kind of gestalty feel.
And uh clearly, if I thought my chances of you know dying in 10 years were five percent and an algorithm said it's eighty percent.
Then we have a problem and the algorithm could probably do some real good.
But I think in medicine that's often not the case.
I mean, we sort of know that the patient has a decent chance of having sepsis, or know that the patient has a decent chance of falling or being readmitted.
And the use case of the algorithms being much more accurate predictors and getting you from, I think it's 20 to 30% to 22.7%, that part I'm not sure is all that helpful.
But what Zeke and I were talking about really was one single use case, which is sort of predictive models.
I think what we've seen in the last few years.
is that the use cases are much, much broader than that.
And, you know, the use case, I mean, I was just attending on the wards, and periodically we would see a patient and the question would come up, you know, how often is the ferritin high in in autoimmune hepatitis?
And in the old days I might have tried to search on Google or tried to search in up to date, and now I would search on GPT four.
And uh because it will integrate and I think often better than than than searching the literature, it will sort of integrate y your your entire situation the way you would if you went to a specialist.
Uh you're not really asking a single
factual question.
