Yeah, hasn't anyone else noticed that there hasn't been a single profitable product to come out of it? Even copilot is biting the dust already as they try to reduce computing costs. I also haven't heard of a single person actually paying for chatgpt access either...
Yes, but it is not profitable for it to run like this. I would speculate that payed users are the vast minority.
I paid 20 bucks plus VAT last week for a month of access to try the new dalle in chatgpt, it has just dropped.
I work in healthcare tech and can guarantee there are exciting things coming down the pipeline in that domain
Lol. I will believe it when I see it. I don't think LLMs especially will do that much good in Healthcare, and I would be particulary wary of them diagnosing patients. Aside from some very limited signal analysis for telehealth, I am very wary on the applications of "new" AI on healthcare. I believe it will be a disaster.
Unless you're a medical professional, you probably won't see it.
8f your in enterprise software, this stuff is pretty malleable. You are regularly asked to give pitches and lectures on medical projects, for sales reasons. You would be surprised - most people that work on this stuff have no idea the fist thing about medicine.
My Mom's a doctor, so I can ask her to have a bit of insight about this stuff. The challenges facing healthcare don't have that much to do with technology, at least in the US.
Anything you can share?
We're largely still working with LLMs at the moment -- Using them to immediately pull in relevant clinical information from previous encounters when a doctor sees a patient. Or using generative AI to edit doctors' messages to patients be more empathetic and... human (our pilot organizations have really loved this one so far). Using procedure codes on claims to guess if certain diagnoses were missed and to make more robust health risk profiles for populations as a whole -- these are a bit more NLP/data mining.
Much of this seems like a bad idea imo.
Hey, same (or at least similar)
I and many of my coworkers pay for ChatGPT. It’s super useful at work and can be used to save a considerable amount of time.
I'm in all the business meetings. "Use Chatham to save time generating analysis" or something like that. I think it has been proven that merely using it as a tool to generate content isn't profitable- at some level even your paid subscription is subsidized by VC money. The real test is if it provides "valuable" content. But then why does your employer even need you to make the prompts? Don't worry, I believe LLMs are fundamentally incapable of this and that your job is safe.
