Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"? (lemmy.ml)

Feel like we've got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you've got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like "bro this is so scary how good we made this thing". Seems like bullshit.

I've seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don't think I'd just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

You know this personally or did you just read an article? My wife works in a pharmaceutical company. And if I learned one thing by her stories: there will always be some person responsible for decisions! I doubt the radiologist lost her/ his job. I mean who’s going to jail if the quality was poor and people die?

I rather think AI downsized her/ his engagement. Either just doing an supervision and sanity check or used the tool by itself and increased productivity.

Yes, personally. They did the trials for precision of processing.

Good luck to them. Very brave to put their business critical decisions into the AI basket. FDA isn’t known for being humorous.

Every large aggregate report contains errors. As long as the errors are small and do not impact conclusions, there is no “business critical” element. And of course, they are going to check the accuracy with real human beings, constantly. But I have no doubt that AI is capable to do this kind of work as good or even better than human beings. So yes, some radiologists will be remained employed, but you need like what? 20% of them? Less, as time goes?
