    This isn’t dumb. This is a very good study as it is helping to remind people that these fancy new tools aren’t good at everything. The media reporting on this is doing a service.

        A study debunking the usage of llm in medicine has almost no impact on general machine learning applications in medicine. This is textbook concern trolling.
