"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Good grief, has she not seen all the advances in medical technology in the last 50 years? Life saving technology? How can someone with such high qualifications be this stupid?

And on a side note, she also says ‘AI is for everyone’. if AI is for everyone, why doesn’t she champion for companies to stop putting AI technologies up behind paywalls and subscriptions? 🤔

Vaccine advances have definitely been important, good call. The other stuff mentioned is technologically advanced but affects relatively few people. Most of us haven't needed MRI scans, robotic surgery, etc. I've had a few conventional X-rays but never an MRI.

I've sometimes thought about this question (usually with the timeframe 20 years rather than 50) because of the extreme cost of health care in the US. Most of us can stay healthy without the latest tech interventions.

Thank you :)

You’re right, that technology does affect relatively few people, but even one life saved is still a life saved
