The overall conclusion – that current learners are suffering because we don't know yet how to incorporate this technology into training – strikes me as plausible, although I am increasingly skeptical that we're going to reach a "tech is mature and we know how to handle it" equilibrium anytime soon.

This piece and many others like it express a level of hubris – that I'm an experienced clinician and therefore the way I wield this technology is Correct – that I find more than a little concerning. I'm worried about everyone in clinical medicine.

Anecdotally, I find middle-aged clinicians often have the more eyebrow-raising use of AI, rather than the learners. 🤷‍♂️

To wit, for example

Bedard mentions but doesn't really go on to engage with what I think is an incredibly important point here – talking to colleagues about challenging cases (and "challenging" evolves over years of training) is one of the most important aspects of medical training and practice.

Lots of great points in this thread, but this is my favorite. Every doctor thinks every other doctor is more prone to influence than they themselves are. Love to see the bias blind spot at play.
