The point about AI is that it is based on the human information that has been fed into it. So, for example, in 2021, AI would advise that the vaccine was ‘safe and effective’. Would it have actually gone through the Pfizer trials, that indicated there was no safety data for immunocompromised, pregnant women, etc.? That becomes the issue. It’s u likely that AI will give alternative views….which is why, frankly, most of us here have subbed to this Substack.
I am a programmer experimenting with ChatGPT as a programming assistant. While ChatGPT has proven very useful in providing answers to simple technical questions, when I up-scaled my questions it completely failed. Interestingly enough it did so with grace, politeness and empathy for its unfortunate user - myself. Bravo to the designers of the interface! At some points I even felt like I was talking to a human.
I found ChatGPT a very good information retrieval program with a very "human" touch. It is valuable for everyday simple tasks, yet with no guarantee on the correctness of the answers.
Unless AI functions on the basis of rules rather that statistics on masses of random data, I cannot see how it could be trusted to diagnose and suggest cures. Of course, things may change...
AI in medicine takes us one step closer to complete control of our futures, and ultimately to complete loss of freedom. For AI, like any other resource, if it's garbage in, then it's garbage out. Do any readers of these posts really believe that all that's been published regarding medicine in the last 100 years can be trusted as 'science'??
We have already forgotten what the Doctor-Patient relationship means and what its essence really is, or now I should rather say was. For arguably 200 years this was the heart of medicine. The loss of the autonomous doctor-patient relationship is the crisis and downfall of western medicine. This occurred before AI even entered the picture. Its demise was ushered in by insurance companies and governments, by the deliberate destruction of decentralized medicine, the crown jewel of which was the doctor-patient relationship. Can centralized, monetized, one size fits all, technology driven medical care driven by a ‘common good’ ethic and algorithmic medical decisions produce the same or better health care than a human system driven by a Hippocratic oath that treats every patient as a unique individual with physical, emotional and spiritual needs? This is a total disaster. Stay out of the hospital. It is fast becoming a death sentence.
Would an AI doctor ever be allowed to go outside the corporate protocols? AI would be directed to maximize profit not patient health. AI would care even less about the patient than a human doctor.
It’s going to folks. The AI will always follow protocol. The medical profession and the legal profession will enforce protocol irrespective of outcomes. However it will be absolutely unable to think outside of the box and medical advances will grind to a halt because no doctor will ever challenge protocol because to do so will end their careers. The system will use AI to cut costs. IE we can eliminate 15 primary care doctors who cost $250,000 per year and replace it with EPIC AI system at a cost of $2,500,000 and we will recoup our investment in less than a year. The CFO wins again The fact that people die or are mistreated will be irrelevant Just think of the customer service you get from the cable company talking to someone from Bangladesh who lies too you when they tell you that their name is John (their mother didn’t name him John). and who’s accent is so thick and his English is so bad that you can’t understand him and you hate calling in because you know it’s going to be a horrible experience and take an hour waiting for this person to actually pick up the call You think the CFO of the cable company cares? Where else can you go is their attitude.

Why I have on my chart, "refuses all treatment." As a nurse with over 20 years of experience, I have the right to say I do not trust medicine.
Most of us learned that during the plandemic

Well given how drs are taught pharmacology more then true medicine it might save more lives then making it all about the money
