Using Generative AI for medical diagnostics is dangerous and irresponsible. The AI companies should have a visible disclaimer everywhere. But because they don't, even the so-called "AI experts" are being confused.

If AI experts, like Peter Shen, Head of Digital Health – North America at Siemens Healthineers, make such egregiously erroneous statements, what can we expect from the users of AI?

In an interview with Bill Gates on January 11, 2024, Sam Altman stated that OpenAI had to put its robotics project on hold. Here is how he explained it: "Creative work, the hallucinations of the GPT models, is a feature, not a bug. It lets you discover some new things. Whereas if you're having a robot move heavy machinery around, you'd better be really precise with that." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkXELH6Y2lM)

Per Sam Altman's own admission, generative AI can be magical, but in healthcare, just like in robotics, we don't need magic. We need precision, accuracy, and reliability.
