    This story is written like it vindicates AI medicine but really it seems like the human medical system dropped the ball on the MRI. ChatGPT didn't have any brilliant insight, it just (eventually) suggested the same thing a human doctor had already suggested, but this time the author and his wife pushed harder for it to happen.

    To use the metaphor from the article, they found the keys in the last place they looked.

      Doctors don’t need brilliant insight, they need to essentially leverage human medical knowledge against unwellness in human beings. This is confounded by two measures: too many patients per doctor, and too much human medical knowledge.
