A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Nobody read the article? This could be a game changer if they stick with it and train, train, train. This is the exact sort of thing AI should excel at, no idea why this is failing so hard. Seems like this should be correctable pretty quickly. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป

the "smart" gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that're undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart's electrical activity

I guess EEGs are pretty quick as is, had one last years in my doctor's office. But still, if this turns out cheaper and faster, well, more testing never hurts. I'd love to get results in one minute and not have to strip and get wired up.

I read it. It says that 70% of doctors that used it, dropped it within 1 year and the reply from the developers is AI techbros 101. Even if your technology is good, these are not very promising figures.

It could be, yes. Or it could be yet another AIbro grift that sucks up a lot of money for no meaningful results, but, hey, at least they're burning the planet down!

I know which seems more likely to me.

It seems like learning to detect problems is a great skill to learn, for when the hospital internet is down.

Alternately, this is the first thing I thought of

Or, hear me out, we could make a device that does all that without sticking the Incomprehensible Hallucination Demon into it.
