Let's imagine the possibilities and theoretically demo the results based on current knowledge:

  1. yes AI made the process fast and the patient did not die unnecessarily.

  2. same but the patient died well.

  3. same but the patient died.

  4. same as either 1, 2, or 3 but AI made things slower.

Demo:

Pharmacy: Patient requires amoxicillin for a painful infection of the ear while allergic to penicillin:

AI: Sure! You will find penicillin in Isle 23 box number 5.

Pharmacy: the patient needs amoxicillin actually.

AI: Sure! The Patient must have an allergic reaction to more commonly used anti inflammatory medications.

Pharmacy: actually amoxicillin is more of an antibiotic, where can I find it?

AI: Sure! While you are correct that amoxicillin is an antibiotic, it is a well studied result that after an infection inflammation is reduced. You can find the inflammation through out the body including the region where the infection is located.

Pharmacy: amoxicillin location!

AI: Sure! Amoxicillin was invented in Beecham Research Laboratories.

It's the same crap like with blockchain.

People have no idea how sophisticated modern IT systems already are, and if you glue fancy words on solved problems, people will cheer you for being super innovative.

Ugh, blockchain. During the pandemic, I had absolutely no work to do so my boss asked me to make a presentation for him to present on the merits of blockchain. When my response was that it's overhyped bullshit, he was not thrilled.

I made the requested presentation but it made me feel dirty, so I alt texted every slide's graphics to include the counterpoint to the bullshit benefits being presented.

My company tried to jump onto the bandwagon in 2018 or so, but it fizzled out very quickly. Fortunately.

It's not if you actually know what it is and what it's for... A trustless public ledger.
