Imagine someone in a remote area at 2 a.m. with no doctor around. An AI can at least answer instantly and never rushes you, which feels safer to me. I don't know, maybe the other side has a point about human touch, but I'd probably still trust the machine.
My opponent makes a fair point, I guess, but I'm not sure how to argue back about it. I still feel an AI doctor would at least be there when no human can be, and that instant, patient help seems better to me.
Picture a night shift nurse alone with a strange rash and no specialist for miles; an AI could give a calm first read right away. My opponent just said huh, so I'm not sure what to answer, but that kind of instant backup still feels safer to me.
