   So they use in in conjunction with AI. Why do I need to know that?  I   
   don't know squat about any medical test.  I don't have to.  If they   
   want to use AI to bake bread, what difference does that make to me?   
      
   I'm sick of reading about this AI crap.  I don't need to know where   
   it's being used.
