AI has uses in the medical, scientific, and disabled communities. I've seen it helping blind people with shopping, with Google glasses or whatever reporting what they've picked up and describing it to them. It can also identify/predict cancer tissue early.
Generative AI is peak laziness and the death of human creativity. Using AI for companionship has a nasty effect on mental health.
AI should have only ever been an assistant in medical/scientific research in my opinion, simply because it's so damaging to the environment, economy, and society.
Do you mean an LLM or a machine learning model specifically trained for this?

Different case, obviously, but I remember reading about an AI which can identify pending-heart-attack from x-rays .. and nobody could figure-out what the hell it was judging from..
THAT is brilliant.
Specialized to the degree that it is trustworthy.
I'd be surprised if humans could possibly compete against a properly-done set-of-AI's, which worked through, in the correct order, all possible diagnostic-reasoning.
Democratizing accurate-diagnosis would be THE medical-revolution the world needs, now.
