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.

Cory Doctorow: What Kind of Bubble is AI?
AI tools like this should really be viewed as a calculator. Helpful for speeding up analysis, but you still require an expert to sign off.
Honestly anything they are used for should be validated by someone with a brain.
A good brain or just any brain?
But that's exactly what's being said. Hire one person to sign off on radiology AI doing the work of ten doctors, badly.
You don't need AI for this and it's probably Not using "AI"
Also in other Countries there is No bullshit Separation between Nurses and "Techs"
What they're describing is the kind of thing where the "last-gen" iteration/definition of AI, as in pretrained neural networks, are very applicable - taking in various vitals as inputs and outputting a value for if it should be alarming. For simple things you don't need any of that, but if you want to be detecting more subtle signs to give an early warning, it can be really difficult to manually write logic for that, while machine learning can potentially catch cases you didn't even think of.
Hey, do you want to go fuck yourself?
I work in the hospital world and tele techs are working harder than nurses 99% of the time. So what job title do you have that makes you feel special? ⭐🖕⭐
In the Hospital World where I Work there are Nurses and Doctors delivering care. No need for thousand bullshit sub Jobs aimed at cutting wages and making Patient Care worse
Ideally, yeah - people would review and decide first, then check if the AI opinion confers.
We all know that's just not how things go in a professional setting.
Anyone, including me, is just going to skip to the end and see what the AI says, and consider whether it's reasonable. Then spend the alotted time goofing off.
Obviously this is not how things ought to be, but it's how things have been every time some new tech improves productivity.
