@DeryaTR_ As a physician, I am using AI to help level up my ability to care for my patients. This way the patient gets a compassionate relationship with cutting edge knowledge.

6/ The part that is true: I use AI all day, and late at night a good model often beats the expert I can actually reach, which is no one. But a better answer is not a better doctor. AI supports. AI does not decide. Read the essay: https://t.co/RHIRcMR12m

1/ A venture capitalist's line about "Doctor ChatGPT" went viral as a verdict on 99 percent of physicians. The real quote is more useful, and more honest. I am a primary care internist who uses AI all day, so I did the thing the meme skipped. I checked it.

5/ Here is the irony I keep returning to. A claim that AI is more trustworthy than human experts was degraded, in three steps, by an unreliable chain of human reposts. The first answer you see is rarely the whole story, whether it comes from a chatbot or a viral screenshot.

Burning lots of Fable tokens today.

5/What we claim instead: the freedom to prepare for every patient. To trust the record. To look the patient in the eye. To finish the day's work inside the day. To go home feeling a good job has been done.

We wrote a declaration of independence for primary care. It names what has worn clinicians down: the rushed visits, the inbox that never empties, the record you cannot trust. And what we are claiming instead. Read it: https://t.co/VyHjTMVe8f

4/And free of the quiet injury of practicing, day after day, below the standard you trained a lifetime to meet.
