Lol

Very uplifting news. I think everyone here understands that AI is a tool that can be clunky and time-consuming to use, and can do pretty much no job on its own (even though it's great for some types of research and stuff), but I was definitely worried that enough CEOs would believe otherwise for it to have a negative impact.

LLMs have been in the public consciousness a couple of years now, long enough to be sceptical of the"just wait a few more years and it will change everything" crowd. We should have at least started seeing some impact by now if that was the case.

The google AI is the worst thing I've ever seen. I blocked it with ublock because it can't ever get anything right.

We are starting to see impacts. At least in my field (medicine,) AI scribes are allowing for the replacement of human scribes, decreasing physician workload, increasing documentation detail, and is allowing physicians to capture more of what they did in their billing.

Those last three words, “in their billing”, is the real terrifying part. The AI is only making easier the bit of the job that shouldn’t need doing in the first place.

I don’t understand what you mean. Do you expect doctors to work for free?

[-] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago

I expect doctor’s visits to not have bills.

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

How do you expect doctors to get paid, then? Do you work for free?

So, which part of the US are you from?

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Are you trying to advance the claim that no medical practitioner outside the US ever generates an invoice, even to send to their own government-funded coverage?

I expect even FALGSC hospitals still need billing infrastructure, if only to account for all the MRI time and experimental hallucinogens.
