A reader sent a link to an article on the gut microbiome in schizophrenia with the lurid title: “Gut microbiome breakthroughs revolutionise schizophrenia treatment” (microbiome means the many types of bacteria that live in the large bowel).
I expect it will be like all other technical advances: psychiatry will grab it, announce that this is going to transform the whole world, there will be a huge flurry, heaps of money spent, entire careers built on it, books, conferences etc, then it will slowly fade from view until, one day, a new "breakthrough" will arrive and everybody will rush after it, quite forgetting the fuss they made over AI.
More seriously, while it may indicate areas that have been overlooked, it cannot provide answers beyond those use to train the model. In particular, if the material has been oriented toward a reductionist account of mental disorder, that's the answers it will give. I'm not impressed but there are plenty of naive psychiatrists who will be.
hopefully the actual psychiatric system will dissappear! AI may take many of those positions, having into account there is a strong view that humanity is dissappearing, I guess psychiatrist and the actual medical system will be obsolete! 😂😂😂 Looking for your reaction Dr McLaren G-d bless you 🤗🌹🏆
Great post Dr McLaren 🌹💌🏆🙂 👏🏻👏🏻
what do you think is going to happen in a near future between AI and psychiatry?
