Elon Musk just told people that med school might be a waste of time because AI doctors are coming for the whole profession.

What Musk actually said on the podcast
[LIST]
[*]The guy was on a show with Peter H. Diamandis, talking about robots and healthcare, when someone asked if medical school would matter once AI gets better than human doctors.
[*]His answer was pretty direct: pointless.
[*]He's betting that AI systems will crush human doctors at diagnosing patients and doing surgeries.
[*]According to him, regular people will get better healthcare than what the president has access to right now.
[/LIST]

Why does he think this is happening
[LIST]
[*]Musk sees automation and machine learning advancing at a crazy pace, and he's calling this a preview of what's coming.
[*]He's not saying doctors today are useless, just that the tech is moving fast enough to replace them down the line.
[/LIST]

How people are reacting to this
[LIST]
[*]Some folks think he's right and that this is just where technology is headed.
[*]Others are pushing back, saying medicine isn't just about being accurate or fast, it's about trust and ethics and the human side of care.
[*]The debate is basically whether machines can handle the parts of medicine that aren't purely technical.
[/LIST]

What this means for careers in general
[LIST]
[*]Even jobs that seem untouchable and require years of training might have to shift or reinvent themselves as AI keeps evolving.
