doctor and caring for patients would be the bedrock of what I did.

But understanding the system and the incentives in a way through research became the second pillar.

And then communicating about both of those things, what patients are going through, but also how the system is contributing to what we can and can't do for patients to a broader audience became that third leg that I wanted to stand up.

Well, most of what I write for the New Yorker is really a conversation between myself and the editors and trying to figure out what is timely, what is important, where do we have something new to contribute to what's already out there.

And the first piece I wrote in the early months of two thousand twenty three was actually assigned before Chat GPT dropped at the end of two thousand twenty two.

And so it kind of had to really rework.

that piece in a pretty substantial way.

And like everything in AI, you know, something that's three years old now feels like it's from a totally different era.

And then I wrote another piece more recently a few months ago, which still somehow feels dated already.

And that was focused on diagnosis.

Some of the drawbacks and risks.

It's a great question.

And what's so interesting about the question is that even the people that are closest to the technology probably end up on both sides of that spectrum.

And so it gives you a sense of how uncertain in a way the future is.

The place where I start is recognizing that these technologies are here, they're powerful, and they're going to be a larger part of both healthcare but also society more generally.

And so we're not going to stop that.
