"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I went to visit my GP about a year ago and he said something like "We're trialling this AI thing that's going to listen to our conversation if that's ok".
I like the guy and understand that most people don't really understand tech so I said something like "I'd prefer we disabled it if that's ok". He reacted as though I'd asked to finger his butt hole.
I spared him the following rant but... I just don't understand why anyone would actually want that. I want a doctor that listens to me when I talk to him. If he actually remembered me and kind of got to know me over the years that would be a bonus but it's not really necessary.
I just want to talk to a human and have that human listen to me.
I do not want an LLM to listen in and prompt the GP to refer me to their in-house dietician because I mentioned I'm feeling a bit flat.
You know this tool that they are trialing is to enable them to spend more time with you and less time doing paperwork, right?
I get your feeling, but I think you are missing the forest for the trees here.
Sorry chief.
Its to enable them to see more patients in less time, and to sell bullshit additional services.
I'm more interested in my paperwork being done correctly by a human, tbh. I don't want to wind up in an emergency and get the wrong bloodtype transfused because some piece of shit techbro thought he'd reinvent the wheel.
