The Nocturnists · The Lost Aura with John Lantos, MD · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

And I'm just wondering like coming out the other end of that, how that influenced the way that you think?

Think about

bioethics and medicine and and the world in general.

And then AI comes into the picture, which uh is the topic of this essay.

When did you first realize that AI had made uh this quantum leap in ability and that it was gonna start mixing in with clinical encounters?

And have you had a personal journey around?

your opinions with that.

I mean, I think this piece obviously presents um I don't even want to say it presents an opinion.

It's really more of a question or a or a a place to start a conversation from.

But I'm just curious where you've gone with the AI conversation.

So the title of the piece is The Lost Aura of the Physician in the Age of AI, and you talk about this aura concept, which you borrow from philosopher Walter Benjamin.

Explain aura.

What is that?

What does that mean?

I think, you know, probably there are different meanings in the world of psychics and things like that.

But uh Walter Benjamin uses the word aura to refer to something that's a little different.

So walk us through that.

And you talk about how

this AI technology

shifting the way that we think about or that we value an individual doctor-patient interaction in a particular time or place, that this is almost the climax of a process that's already been unfolding.
