There was also a study going around claiming that llms caused cancer screenings by humans to decrease in accuracy. I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sure the sample size was super small and localized in one hospital?
Anyway maybe they're remembering that in addition to the automatic AI hating down votes.
Not that I'm a fan of AI being shoved everywhere but this isn't that
Why would you use a large language model to examine a biopsy?
These should be specialized models trained off structured data sets, not the unbridled chaos of an LLM. They're both called "AI", but they're wildly different technologies.
It's like criticizing a doctor for relying on an air conditioner to keep samples cool when I fact they used a freezer, simply because the mechanism of refrigeration is similar.
