US Congress proposed bill to allow AI to prescribe drugs and medical treatment
Original post from the Fuck AI community: https://lemmy.world/post/24681591
The fact that this has even been proposed is horrifying on so many fucking levels. Technically it has to be approved by the state invovled and the FDA, but opening this door even a crack is so absurdly out of touch with reality.
A WELL TRAINED AI can be a very useful tool. However the AI models that corporations want to use aren’t exactly what I’d call “well trained” because that costs money. So they figure “we’ll just let it learn by doing. Who cares if people get hurt in the meantime. We’ll just blame the devs for it being bad.”
Edit: to add this is partly why AI gets a bad rap from folks on the outside looking it. Corporations institute barebones, born yesterday AI models that don’t know their ass from their elbow because they can’t be bothered to pay the devs to actually train them but when shit goes south they turn around and blame the devs for a bad product instead of admitting they cut corners. It’s China Syndrome but instead of nuclear reactors it’s AI.
Sounds like all it would take is one company to do it right, and they’d clean up. Except somehow, with all of the billions being poured into it, every product with ai sprinkled on it is worse than the non-ai-sprinkled alternatives.
Now, maybe this is finally the sign that everyone will accept that The Market is completely fucking stupid and useless, and that literally every company involved in ai is holding it wrong.
Or, and I know it’s a bit of a stretch here, but consider the possibility that ai just isn’t very useful except for fooling humans and maybe you can fool people into paying for it but it’s a lot harder to fool them into thinking it makes stuff better.
No, it can’t. Go away.
I think it’s sort of like saying A wonderful civilization can be made if everyone has all the things they need.
Well, yes. Getting there, though. heh. That’s a little tougher than it may seem.
please do elaborate on exactly what kind of training turns the spam generator into a prescription-writer, or whatever other task that isn’t generating spam
i’m pretty sure “normal” folks hate it because of all the crap it’s unleashed upon the internet, and not just because they didn’t use the most recent models off the “Hot” tab on HuggingFace
what are we a bunch of ASIANS?!?!???
Not sure if you’re kidding or just ignorant of what that reference is, but it has nothing to do with China.
if you put this paragraph
and follow it up with “It’s China Syndrome”… then it’s pretty astonishingly clear it is meant in reference to the perceived dominant production ideology of specifically China and has nothing to do with nuclear reactors
fwiw I read it as /s
A well-brewed fart will propel me straight to the moon
Still working on fermenting it
AI is useless, shut the fuck up
oh are people just training it wrong? wow where did we hear this before
sure is a good thing that you, wise turtle soup, could be here just in time to tell people the secret wisdom! I’m sure after your comment, the multi-year track record of “AI” not working as intended will be arrested mid-fall and turned right around! we’re saved!
im sure your well trained chatbots will be VERY useful
a well trained ai can excel at very specific tasks.
prescribing drugs isnt it.
You would be correct. You could use it as a tool to say, help look at the patient history and help find past/present drug prescriptions and how they’ve been charted for the patient, saving a doctor or pharmacist time but ultimately that still needs to be a decision made by an actual doctor and or pharmacist.
