Yes? It's nothing personal, human women, but once "having a pleasant feminine voice" is something that machines can do more efficiently than humans, why shouldn't those machines be given the job?

What about all the dudes that don't get a shot either way because they're not an attractive woman? Is it a slap in the face to them?

I feel like AI haters really struggle to grasp the concept of an actually competent AI that can do something better than a human would. The counter-arguments always seem to come from the assumption that this will never be the case but that's changing the subject.

If there is an AI doctor that has a proven track record of being better at diagnosing illesses than any human doctor then I'll rather consult the AI. I'm fully aware how "unfair" it is for the human doctor but I don't want to have to deal with misdiagnosis just because I wanted to show my support for human doctors and knowingly going for the inferior option.

The flip side is that the company that owns the doctor AI doesn't want you to use it because their 95% successful diagnosis means every 1 in 20 cases they have the opportunity to get sued.

Well presumably they would be using it to replace a doctor with even worse success rate so I'm not sure why wouldn't they want me to use that instead.
