How would a stethoscope even benefit from any AI in its current form? We already have doctors who devote their lives to understanding this, that's real intelligence, not artificial intelligence.
I don't want an artificial doctor. Who would?
- In theory, it could pick up on subtle signals that humans usually miss.
  In theory.
- Healthcare industrial complex executives. Obviously.
- Who would?
  An idiot would.
  That said, if I can get this gadget, hook it up at home, and look-up the results on WebMD, I might do it.
  I'm aware of the WebMD effect, but I'm not immune to it.
This is definitely going to be bought in the US. They are all about worse outcomes for more money. /S
My ai powered coin flip predictor fails only half of the time. Use it to predict anything!
- It’s a sign.
Lmao. The article author is not thrilled with AI either. Love to see it
Lol. Your heart horoscope, now for just £199.99 a month... But seriously, we should have some standards and medical certification for things. Because we already have esoteric pseudo-medicine and charlatans. People come to a proper doctor for proper treatment.
- Spoken like someone with good insurance.

Deep sigh.
