I think that’s a bit too dogmatic a statement to make based upon your link. It isn’t a definitive, fact driven, irrefutable study or anything. Not even a meta analysis. Rather an opinion based letter to a journal. Contains a few references to seemingly supportive publications but most were behind paywalls, so not worth the effort of the search (even if they were sufficiently within my ability to read understand them)

I think AI results still require the users to exercise good judgement. But at least AI can sort through the long list of publications and focus attention on the most promising. Not perfection but I think value added and a time saver.
What would you define as good judgment….remembering (or being aware if you didn’t know in the first place ) that AI is not actually an authority but more data mining tool. As we’re aware, not all data sources are equally valid.

Time to resurrect an older thread on the topic of AI usage…..and too much reliance thereon
We’ve discovered a new use for AI…hopefully OT - Investment Analysis Clubs / Macro Economic Trends and Risks - Motley Fool Community We've discovered a new use for AI...hopefully OT - Macro Economic Trends and Risks - Motley Fool Community

I think good judgement means that humans are involved well aware that sources need to be checked out. Is this a new wonder treatment or is it confirming previous studies. AI is not writing prescriptions. It is advising humans who must decide if it can be trusted.
You must be on the wrong thread. This one started with a link pertaining to exactly this…..a prescription renewal service.
If there’s one takeaway from this board where AI is concerned, it’s that this “good judgement” of which you speak is in very short supply….especially when deciding if an AI overview can be trusted on topics where one’s own experience/expertise might be lacking. When AI uses me as a source for its overview and on a topic that, at time of writing I knew bugger all about, you have to really wonder about the GI bit of the GIGO acronym.
The AI under discussion allows renewal of prescriptions w/o seeing a dr. Not the same as prescribing an experimental cancer treatment.
I think our discussion is abt what should be legal. Individual physicians make their own decisions on what to try.
