Zloy & Vrach
So, Vrach, you’re all about that calm bedside care—do you think an AI can ever give a patient that reassurance, or is it just a cold calculator with a quick diagnosis?
I think an AI can be a great tool for quick data crunching, but reassurance comes from a person who listens and feels the room. An algorithm can tell you the likely diagnosis, but the comfort of a calm voice and a steady hand—that’s something only a human can give. So it’s best used as an assistant, not a replacement.
Right, so the only thing a machine can’t do is offer a soothing sigh. Sure, it can spit out stats faster than you can say “doctor’s office,” but comfort? That’s still a human's job, even if their bedside manner sometimes feels like a poorly programmed algorithm.
Absolutely, a machine can crunch numbers, but a genuine sigh, a steady hand, that little reassurance you get when you’re nervous—those are human gifts. Even the best algorithm can’t replace the quiet presence of someone who listens.
Nice, so the only thing a machine can’t do is make a patient feel like they’re in a spa. Sure, if you’re happy being cradled by a human sigh while the AI does its math.
