    But it says next to nothing about how reliable the LLM as an actual doctor.

    Yet these tests say anything about how a human would be as an actual doctor?

      It says as much as it does for an LLM but doctors have to have a lot of field experience after passing these tests before they get certified as doctors.

        Then we should remove such tests and, if anything, increase such field experience

            Because clearly passing such tests doesn’t matter. If it did matter then it would be noteworthy and have implications for the labor value of doctors that gpt could pass the tests to a better extent than many of them

              If you can’t read a licence plate at 20 metres you can’t safely drive. Being able to read a licence plate at 20 metres does not make you a safe driver. The test still matters.

              Tests are meant to gatekeep who gets to get the field training required to become a doctor. Sending every jabroni into residency willy-nilly is probably gonna collapse the healthcare system completely.

                That wouldn’t collapse the health care system, it would devalue the salaries of doctors which would be good for everyone else as it would lower costs. Which is what has happened to practically every other profession
