LeaDrugs and medical devices have to be put through long periods of rigorous testing and multiple stages of trials before they can be used on patients in practice.
But not #genAI / #LLMs! Why not?! [1]
I posted an article a few months ago about how doctors are already using LLMs in their practice right now, without any testing or trials, just marketing hype and wishful thinking.
The LLM creates summaries of patient records so the doctor doesn't have to bother to look at the records themselves. Then the doctor records the visit with their smartphone and an LLM transcribes and summarizes it. So the doctor is neither reading nor writing the actual medical records.
I predicted that people are going to be seriously harmed or die from the resulting inaccuracies (slop) in medical records and doctors' lack of knowledge of patient histories. And we won't find out about it until after it's been happening for a while [2].
Today I've seen several posts #onHere about a similar situation in the social work field. The link ICYMI:

The sad thing is the use of properly developed actual AI (what "AI" meant before the tech broligarchs came along and appropriated the term for their text generators) can do great things like detect cancer in medical scans, find useful new drugs, etc.

Beanbag AshtrayI don't know if it's rude to screenshot people's posts #onhere but this juxtaposition was too good not to keep
DNA scheduleAnybody #onhere who came from the bird site remember how often we used to say "never tweet" and how that was a pretty much universally understood statement? Feels like we've quietly gained something in the past few years. I'm suddenly conscious today that even with the proliferation of quote posts I have not seen the disgust-driven content farming that used to be so normalized.
myrmepropagandistHi everyone. I need to get a rough sense of how many people are around #onhere (in this part of the fedi) who might be in the greater NYC region.
I'm in NYC or the greater NYC region
I'm not in that region.
I will never tell, it is secret.
