If a prole understands what the free MedAIs say, and the prole has good reading comprehension, preferably with a science background, Doximity is already better than the docs.  The challenge is that the docs still control who gets what medications.

Review Bill Joy’s Wired article from April 2000: Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us

I didn’t agree with Joy then, nor do I now, but I do freely recognize he is a lot richer than I am.  He makes some observations from over 26 years ago which should be reviewed by modern singularity hipsters.
