"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.

That quote about not being subject to HIPAA sounds suspect, but I guess it could be true as long as their terms and conditions are super explicit about not using the software for any real healthcare decisions, which it sounds like they are. But as soon as this shit does get used to diagnose something, deny or approve insurance coverage, or any of a large number of things, it will become a covered entity and will be subject to all HIPAA and PHI (protected health information) privacy regulations.
