Your point about "idiopathic" deserves more attention than it usually gets. Saying we do not yet know the cause is itself a clinical finding: it keeps the question open and tells the next person where to keep looking. A tool built to always return an answer can quietly erase that category. Forming your own view before consulting the AI, as you describe, may be the simplest way to protect it.
Thank you Laurentiu - I agree - this is a very important distinction. I hope we can continue to have this humility and have iatrogenic as part of the arsenal.
Thank you, Scott. That humility is harder to keep than it sounds, especially when a tool offers a confident answer in seconds. Being able to write "idiopathic" and mean it, cause not yet known, keep looking, may turn out to be one of the skills most worth protecting.
