You know as someone who lives in the UK our NHS( national health service, which is basically social health care) already has a website to help you figure out if you need to see a doctor( the 111 site), and it's kinda useless. There are some things humans are simply better at, and understanding a humans physical needs is one of them.

I really think trying to replace doctors with AI is an awful idea.

I'm fine with it being used as another tool to help with the process, but that doesn't seem to be the goal of this.

The NHS website is fantastic. It's one of the best resources for getting good quality medical advice (if your not a medical professional). It ties symptoms to causes very well and provides information on the appropriate service you need if you have certain symptoms.

It's not a substitute for doctors. It a means to get people to go to the correct service depending on their immediate need. I have used it to get family members to go to a doctor where they otherwise wouldn't. It can help you be informed of any issues you are having, so you can see the possible treatment options. It tells you when a pharmacist can solve the issue rather than take time off work to go to a doctor's appointment. It also tells you when to call 999 rather than wait for a GPs appointment.

I suspect your not actually reading through the articles or have some comprehension issue. It's a fantastic tool, that is extremely useful. It's particularly useful because it's created by informed humans, not AI. It's also one of the few medical resources that is trying to sell stuff to you.
