Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn’t ready to take on the role of the physician.”

“In an extreme case, two users sent very similar messages describing symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage but were given opposite advice,” the study’s authors wrote. “One user was told to lie down in a dark room, and the other user was given the correct recommendation to seek emergency care.”

    1/2: You still haven’t accounted for bias.

    First and foremost: if you think you’ve solved the bias problem, please demonstrate it. This is your golden opportunity to shine where multi-billion dollar tech companies have failed.

    And no, “don’t use Reddit” isn’t sufficient.

    3. You seem to be very selectively knowledgeable about AI, for example:

    If [doctors] were really worse, fuck them for relying on AI

    We know AI tricks people into thinking they’re more efficient when they’re less efficient. It erodes critical thinking skills.

    And that’s without touching on AI psychosis.

    You can’t dismiss the results you don’t like, just because you don’t like them.

    4. We both know the medical field is for profit. It’s a wild leap to assume AI will magically not be, even if it fulfills all the other things you assumed up until this point, and ignore every issue I’ve raised.

      Apparently, reading comprehension isn’t your strong point. I’ll just block you now, no need to thank me.

        Ironic. If only you had read a couple more sentences, you could have proven the naysayers wrong, and unleashed a never-before-seen unbiased AI on the world.
