Quote:Actually, that's not as crazy as it sounds. Actuarial formulae based on regression from past data have consistently outperformed actual live doctors in diagnosis and perscription. Doctors can catch some things that the algorithms don't, but not often enough to beat them. Usually, it's not even close.Then we don't need doctors. We just need algorithms.
