  • Yep, exactly.

    As a doctor who’s into tech, before we implemented something like AI-assisted diagnostics, we’d have to consider what the laziest/least educated/most tired/most rushed doctor would do. The tools would have to be very carefully implemented such that the doctor is using the tool to make good decisions, not harmful ones.

    The last thing you want to do is have a doctor blindly approve an inappropriate order suggested by an AI without applying critical thinking and causing harm to a real person because the machine generated a factually incorrect output.











  • At the crux of the author’s lawsuit is the argument that OpenAI is ruthlessly mining their material to create “derivative works” that will “replace the very writings it copied.”

    The authors shoot down OpenAI’s excuse that “substantial similarity is a mandatory feature of all copyright-infringement claims,” calling it “flat wrong.”

    Goodbye Star Wars, Avatar, Tarantino’s entire filmography, every slasher film since 1974…


  • The tools would be integrated into things we already use.

    I’m a doctor, and our EMR is planning to start piloting generative text for replies to patient messages later this year. These would be fairly informal and don’t need to be super medically rigorous, needing just a quick review to make sure the AI doesn’t give dangerous advice.

    However, at some point AI may be used in clinical support, where it may offer suggestions on diagnoses, tests, and/or medications. And here, we would need a much higher standard of evidence and reproducibility of results as relying on a bad medical decision here could lead to serious harm.

    These are already in two different sections of the medical chart (inbox vs. encounter, respectively) and these would likely be two separate tools with two separate contexts. I would not need to memorize two tools to use the software: in my inbox, I’ll have my inbox tools, and in my encounter, I’ll have my encounter tools, without worrying about exactly what AI implementation is being used in the background.
