iirc the reason it isn't used still is because even with it being trained by highly skilled professionals, it had some pretty bad biases with race and gender, and was only as accurate as it was with white, male patients.

Plus the publicly released results were fairly cherry picked for their quality.

Medical sciences in general have terrible gender and racial biases. My basic understanding is that it has got better in the past 10 years or so, but past scientific literature is littered with inaccuracies that we are still going along with. I'm thinking drugs specifically, but I suspect it generalizes.
