The nicer doctor It’s not hard to see what so many people like about chatbots. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of medical literature, sure. But so many users told us that a big part of the appeal was that the A.I. offered a kinder version of health care. One woman asked for help diagnosing a tingly feeling in her hand that, she told ChatGPT, she suspected stemmed from an issue with her median nerve. “You’re describing something that fits beautifully with how the median nerve runs through the forearm,” it replied. Chatbots often wrote how sorry they were to hear about the users’ symptoms and how “great” and “important” their questions were. Sometimes, they even commiserated with users about the health system. When one woman complained that her doctor’s office had been dismissive, a chatbot offered this reassuring reply: Green and gray text bubbles between Catherine Rawson and "Microsoft Copilot." Another woman, frustrated that her human provider wasn’t matching ChatGPT’s bedside manner, sent her oncologist a list of kind messages the bot had sent her — things she thought the doctor “should have said to me.”

Technological progress is often equated with shiny gadgets: rockets, robots and AI.

But many of history’s most important innovations have been 'boring', and that has big implications for those working on innovation for social good.
