    This sounds exactly like the “Expert Systems” - ie, an interactive flowchart, we had in the 80s. I do wish people would stop labelling everything AI.

      AI used to cover a wide field of study, nowadays it seems to be all about the generative models. Oh how we’ve moved on since that original summer symposium.

    The “appropriate services” in question: “talk to your GP,” who will either not refer you or will put you on a 10 year waiting list. Don’t need an AI system for that.
