@levie @EricTopol The bigger story is that "AI alone" and "doctor + AI" performed equivalently. All the doctor did was increase the variance in outcome without improving the average.

@pelaseyed Yes, you're correct — in my case, I take the query and "elaborate" it into a sample doc that would match the query and use that in the vector search as a hack. Not sure what other options I have given the volume of data.

@pelaseyed An interesting approach that is definitely useful in many situations — I ended up implementing something similar to what I think you're doing under the hood, but using Pinecone results as a first pre-filter since trolling through 7M records with intelligence is too heavy

@antonioregalado @DrStrangeLovett As somebody who studied biology for years — good luck trying to fit natural variation into rigid categories. Of course there are primarily two sexes, but nature produces infinite variation along every possible spectrum.

@DrStrangeLovett @antonioregalado They often don’t produce gametes. So they don’t fit the definition.
