Master, there's an interesting piece of news recently. Some patients have used the AI tool DeepSeek to diagnose illnesses, and it turns out its diagnoses are even more accurate than those of doctors. This has made some doctors quite anxious.

This is indeed a thought-provoking phenomenon. AI is being increasingly applied in the medical field. It can quickly analyze vast amounts of data and provide reasonable treatment suggestions, but does that really mean doctors will be replaced?

For now, DeepSeek often provides correct treatment plans, but doctors are still the final decision-makers. After all, no matter how intelligent AI is, it cannot truly 'understand' patients.

Exactly. Doctors don't just diagnose based on data; they also consider the patient's medical history, lifestyle, emotional state, and other factors. These are aspects that AI finds difficult to fully grasp. Moreover, medicine is not just a science—it is also built on trust between people.

But AI can indeed improve medical efficiency, such as assisting doctors in interpreting images, optimizing treatment plans, and even reducing misdiagnoses. If used properly, it can become a valuable assistant to doctors.

That's right. Artificial intelligence is a tool, not a replacement. As the ancient text 《黄帝内经》 says, 'A great doctor treats illness before it occurs.' A truly skilled doctor not only treats diseases but also focuses on overall human health. And that is something AI is unlikely to achieve.

So, AI can assist doctors, but it cannot completely replace them in the near future?

Exactly. The progress of AI cannot be ignored, but the core of medicine is always 'people.' A doctor's experience, judgment, and humanistic care are the true essence of healthcare.
