"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.

A relative of mine almost died like that. The radiologist identified every spot the programme marked as suspicious as a metastasis and got the oncologist to stop chemotherapy because it was allegedly no use anymore. This was only reversed because of a doctor in the family who had a stern talk with the chief oncologist and made him look at the scans himself. If you want to be cynical, this could also be point for replacing diagnostic radiologists with AI. The other specialists need to look at the scans and x-rays themselves anyway.
