I feel like any AI tool that's being sold as saving you money just won't do that. Some of the ones that sell improved detection rates might.

AI that works as a tool designed to be used by an existing or new professional to augment their abilities works as well as any other tool. An ultrasound doesn't save you money except in the abstract of being more freely usable than x-ray allowing for more checks with less equipment.
A tool that highlights concerning areas on a mammogram isn't replacing a person anymore than the existing tools that highlight concerning heart rhythms.

Trying to get llms to replace people, particularly when it comes to trying to explain the content of a potentially technical medical discussion is just not going to be reliable.
