   Depends on the training set.  If the medical "simulated   
   intelligence" is trained on actual medical diagnoses, including   
   all the "what we found out later that we missed on first   
   examination" cases, it looks like it can be really valuable,   
   at least as first line screening.  Some of the studies seem   
   to be pretty spectacular at picking up stuff.   
      
   Keep it way, way, WAY away from Reddit, FaceBook, and all   
   those "Doctors hate this!" "Kill your belly fat!" clickbaity   
   quackpottery ads that most news web pages are flooded with.
