Yes, that is true as well, so TWT which way it goes. I'm primarily interested in IBM's Watson type technology replacing your average GP for diagnosing me. The next step is to have it directly control a surgical robot. Society puts an enormous amount of training into medical professionals, and yet IBM's technology can beat chess champions and Jeopardy players. They are already at work making it function as a Doc's consultant. That is more politically safe. But the time will come when the Doc ain't needed. Lots of people won't trust it, but I'll take it over a human any day.
