The NYT story citing the JAMA study is fake. I'm sorry, but as a peer reviewer, I wouldn't let this study pass my desk for one main reason: the sample size of 6! You've got to be kidding me, JAMA.
This “AI outperforms doctors” hoax has gone way too far. It's embarrassing that now CNN picked it up. They have 16 co-authors on the JAMA article, and apparently not a single statistician. To make it worse, they don’t even seem to know the numbers from their own study. All of a sudden, 92% accuracy has turned into 90%. It's just bizarre.
