My understanding is that the tumor detecting machine vision is generally thought useful in addition to the radiologist’s expertise. It basically outputs “yes”, “maybe”, and “no”, which is more expertise respecting than generating somewhere thereabouts code, which the coder has to (now) validate.
This is why I wouldn’t equate these tools. LLM code generation is marketed to do much more than machine vision for tumor detection.
