GoKawiilDermatologist finds older Inception v3 CNN beats GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 on skin cancer diagnosis
A dermatologist tested GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 against a fine-tuned, decade-old Inception v3 convolutional neural network on 200 biopsy-confirmed skin lesions from the public MILK10k dataset. The CNN correctly identified the diagnosis in 62% of cases, versus 42% and 43% for the two frontier large language models, including correctly flagging a melanoma that both LLMs misclassified as benign and recommended for discharge.
