I still maintain my point that it isn't harmless to blindly address benign anomalies. Every medical procedure carries risk.

Your point doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Even with ChatGPT existing and making 90% bad calls, a doctor isn’t likely to just “blindly” be cutting out anomalies.

As opposed to what OP said?

Your original comment seemed to imply that if ChatGPT had existed, maybe they’d have had ten benign things removed. But that’s not how it works.

Conversely, ChatGPT can help avoid false negatives.

  It was a carcinoma, and surgery removed it. If ChatGPT had existed back then, this carcinoma would have been removed several years earlier.

My point is against this technical positivism.
