Generative AIs using large language models are basically computer programs stringing words together to achieve an answer it believes the user will find acceptable.
.
This would be great for replacing politicians, but not doctors.
I saw the other day that a lawyer(Maybe in Michigan?) just got his license suspended for 3 months. He got a chatbot to do some of his paperwork. It came out looking great and he signed and filed it with the court. The only problem is that the bot cited cases that never happened to support its arguments.
AI is consistently wrong about all kinds of things, not just medical advice. One chatbot for a company running a mental health wellness program handed out advice more likely to cause people to have negative mental health. NYC’s chatbot encouraged landlords and business managers to break tenant and labor law, respectively.
Someone’s making a pile of money over it, though, and until we stop that it will keep getting shoved at us until we submit to it.
This is a very nice setup for the following concept. Artificial intelligence will really help with healthcare around the world. Anyone everywhere could be treated successfully or as successfully as is possible. And it wouldn’t matter if you were on a ship, or an expedition or just going to the clinic at your school, or First Aid at the mill, or possibly in the ambulance at your wreck, or at your hospital — you have the full power of all knowledge behind you.

Debatable.

AI would get it right if it was trained with the right input. But since the input probably came from the Internet, getting it right is iffy.

Tell him you want a second opinion. If you get a serious answer, it’s AI. If you get “O.K., you’re also fat,” then it’s a (sarcastic) human.

Doc might have to translate the medical terms, though!
