Having recently switched doctors from someone who was very nice in her delivery but ultimately said horrific things to someone who was truly compassionate to where I was coming from… The difference is not a matter of what you say, it’s in how you provide care.

Yikes.

People worry about what it means to be a human being when machines can imitate us so accurately, even at the bedside. The truth is that prewritten scripts have always been deeply woven into the fabric of society. Be it greetings, prayer, romance or politics, every aspect of life has its dos and don’ts. Scripts — what you might call “manners” or “conventions” — lubricate the gears of society. In the end, it doesn’t actually matter if doctors feel compassion or empathy toward patients; it only matters if they act like it. In much the same way, it doesn’t matter that A.I. has no idea what we, or it, are even talking about. There are linguistic formulas for human empathy and compassion, and we should not hesitate to use good ones, no matter who — or what — is the author.

I am so incredibly glad that you've switched, and switched to your satisfaction.
