"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.

When asked if ChatGPT Health is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gross said that “in the case of consumer products, HIPAA doesn’t apply in this setting — it applies toward clinical or professional healthcare settings.”

This will eventually be used to deny you healthcare and health insurance. Law enforcement is already using private data to investigate and track women who may be pregnant or seek abortive care.

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.

It's a good bellwether. If you connect all these apps and upload your actual medical records to ChatGPT, we know that you are clinically insane.

It's gonna be a lot of fun when the shit tells someone to drink bleach to cure a sore throat and they end up dying. Because this will kill people.

Anyone who does this will get exactly what they deserve.
