"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 don't know the specifics but my general opinion is that people should use neural networks to crunch data around probability of side-effects of medication or to diagnose tumors, classify sleep cycles and so on.
Asking an AI to diagnose a patient with an LLM is very risky. The LLM will predict the most probably cause but will it pick up on nuances in patients appearance to rule out a less common but more serious disease?
I'm very skeptical about integrating LLMs into the medical field but AlphaFold has moved medicine forward in massive way for example. I want cancer diagnosis and body scans to be filled to the brim with AI but keep it away from my doctor.
I think we can use precise enough wording to not allow any confusion on this matter. Talking about the few and far between good or effective "AI" uses does nothing positive, it just normalizes the horrible shit going on under the same moniker.
