I hope Microsoft AI took permission from Jesus and Nigerian Pastors before this groundbreaking discovery.

We are still waiting for the second coming of Jesus since 2025 years ago.
The World is leaving us behind and the Old men who deceived everybody are drinking tea and playing Golf with God every weekend.
Pathetic of you. You are living in His grace yet it hasn't dawn on you that He gives time for you to repent so that you will not have excuse to give on that day.

Of course.

This kind of invention will never come from Africa where all the scientists are in the churches doing 30 days fasting and prayers instead of being in the lab using their brains.

Naso I go Jos university teaching hospital, Werey Doctor was using Google. Time for sacking 👌📌💯
As long as he is getting it right, I believe that's what Google is made for.
I know a guy who watches YouTube video and perform surgeries on animal.
The clinic he works with praises him for performing surgeries that other vet doctors couldn't get right.

I read that among all the AI, that Microsoft AI is more sophisticated.
... and most likely paid. Microsoft has always been a force in MIS.

We’re not there yet though the progress has been tremendous. AI will replace a lot of jobs but create a lot more as well.
This AI of a thing is now becoming \another thing entire.

Hahaha! The guy is a charlatan and a fraud.

Men like Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Claude Shannon predicted the impact of AI long before that hack

mariovito:
The book "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari comes to mind. Just exactly as he predicted and described.

I need to go reread it and his other titles; Homo Deus, 21 lessons for the 21st century and Nexus.

Then u go no say, no job safe again
Then I will go into being employed as part of the AI crew. That's AI technician. I must not be left out. cheesy

Oga it seems you are left behind. Currently robots are used for highly precision surgeries requiring less doctors in surgical theatre

You sound supercilious.
You are illogically mixing different things

One is a decision making process that potentially could function autonomously whilst the other is essentially a tool that enhances the work of a specialized practitioner
Robots do not initiate direct or terminate surgery without supervision and strictly speaking are not AI applications they are mechanical enhanced by AI or otherwise


So awareness of the latter those not somehow put you in a category of those who have not been "LEFT BEHIND"
ROBOTS HAVE BEEN USED IN SURGERY FOR 40 years. It is not new but it should not be conflated with autonomous decision making

That is your ego speaking and you need to reflect on why YOU NEED to talk like that

Definitely there is a great future for AI in healthcare especially in the hands of a skilled practitioner
No doubt there will be redundancies in some medical practitioner functions especially in modern centres but in the short to medium term this is unlikely to be ubiquitous because of cost

It's already in existence and it's not taking any jobs. U adapt and work with it to work smarter, reduce the burden/ workload and learning on the go. Its a win-win for the those who wish to see

Again…AI is not meant to replace human reasoning…it’s supposed to be a collaborator and not a competitor. No one is fully relying on AI per se

It’s just like the way DNA technologies came that helped to solve a lot of forensic and investigative cases that were on hold years ago before justice was finally served an all. The world is evolving wether we like it or not and AI is still in it’s baby phase by the way

If there is any job I want AI to take over, it's definitely medicine.

Misdiagnosis too plenty for naija hospitals.
It's better for machine to take over.

It's more efficient and accurate, and on the long run, it will be cheaper.
Re: Microsoft AI Can Now Diagnose Illness 4 Times More Accurately Than Human Doctors by Abee79(m): 8:49pm On Jul 05, 2025
I agree. I discussed this issue with a medical doctor (a Consultant) and he swore it was not possible. I quickly download an app from Google Play Store called "Ada Health App" and we simulated a consultancy session with him acting as the patient. He was shocked at the accuracy of the final results and diagnosis. AI is taking over!

PS: this is not an advert for the Ada Health App

The AI acts on the premise that the patient is telling the truth

Many patients pretend , lie or sometimes change their stories
That is why blood tests are part of the diagnostic process. Doctors should not rely only on what their patients say.

That is not why
Many blood tests are routine . Not necessarily serving a diagnostic purpose but to record markers about the health status in general e.g nutritional status

Doctors should listen to patients

Many conditions develop slowly and the story may change over time as the disease progresses
doctors should understand that this may lead to inconsistent history
It is wrong to assume that medicine has evolved to a point where is has all or even most of the answers

There is so much that is still unknown

There is no blood test for a stroke , Parkinson's disease for ADHD,Epilepsy Schizophrenia Multiple Sclerosis to name a few. Not even for asthma

Many of these conditions for which there is no blood test tend to affect the brain or nervous system and interestingly sometimes respond t miracle cures or prayers allegedly

This is important to highlight the point that disease and or suffering can be in the mind and can be healed from the mind. The fact that it is in the mind does not mean it is not real or that patients should not be listened to

Human beings are not like Cars that respond to purely physical interventions

Blood tests are useful but limited so many things don't show on blood tests and or a blood test does not even exist

Stress is real and psychological distress can cause real physical problems like rashes, paralysis, Erectile dysfunction headaches , hypertension arthritis and so on

These are things that psychiatrists understand and manage

So if you are sick you will lie about your symptoms? Even a human medical doctor cannot discern this, so what are you saying?

Well I did not say doctors should not listen to their patients. Offcourse they should listen to them. What I am saying is that doctors should get additional information via blood tests, scans, etc to confirm what their patients say before arriving at a diagnosis. They shouldn't rely solely on what the patients say. That is the key point.

A good doctor should know when to request for additional tests, scans, etc to rule out other conditions and to aid in arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

You are not saying anything new or profound
Doctors have ALWAY S received information from multiple sources and were not waiting for you to make that revelation
You are elevating "DIAGNOSES" to a place that it should not be. It is important but medicine is a caring profession,

Do you know that there is a DIagnosis like
Failed exams Diagnostic code Z55.2
or
Problem with neigbours Diagnostic code Z59.2

Medicine is not a mathematical equation where getting the CORRECT diagnosis or diagnoses is the purpose

There is nobody on this planet that does not have one diagnosis or another

The fundamental purpose is to reduce suffering

History taking helps to make a diagnosis but even when the patient is giving false information they do not always do so knowingly or with an intent to deceive

If you study general human communication . People give false information all the time with genuine honest intention and no attempt to deceive

So there is a psychological element to a clinical assessment
There is a fundamental point to make Most doctors especially clinicians are not scientists they are Artists or craftsmen that use science.
They must master the art of listening and observing for the purpose of REDUCING SUFFERING and not for getting the CORRECT diagnosis all the time

Yes it is important to get diagnosis right quite often but not always

Sometimes that can take more than a year but the reduction of suffering starts on day one and Listening , skilful listening is what a doctor must master not just solving the diagnostic equation
