Grady Booch Critiques JAMA Paper Claiming AI Beats Doctors
Grady_Booch · x · 2026-08-18
Grady Booch strongly disputes the conclusions of a JAMA paper by Vinod Khosla et al. suggesting AI may outperform physicians. He critiques the five studies cited, highlighting flaws such as tiny sample sizes (16-20 humans), reliance on simulated patients, and unfair comparisons where physicians were denied access to resources. He draws parallels to Geoffrey Hinton's failed ten-year-old prediction about replacing radiologists.
