They're coming for the doctor's next

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
I’ll use myself as an even better example.
I have to take medicine for a chronic condition
Yet every 30 days, the doctor needs to write a refill. I never talk to him, there are no tests, I just leave a voicemail and they send it to the pharmacy the next day. That doctor adds no value.
Most of us would say I should at least be able to get 90 day supply or automatic renewal by the pharmacy. However a way to save the cost of that useless doctor without actually fixing anything is to have an “ai” do it. Or a cron job
that's in a fantasy world without capitalism. in the current one you'd be getting your refills denied both by your doctor and by your pharmacy.
I do agree though that in cases like yours it should be more akin to an OTC experience
