I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.
ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.
Like "I'm pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?" Kinda advice
His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.
There were some issues though.
For instance it responded to
"Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?"
And it said
"You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him."
Which you obviously can't do, but it is technically a correct answer.
Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER
So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn't failing often enough.
A few months ago now, Arizona? Arkansas maybe? Some state legalized "AI powered" home schooling systems. But it was mostly clickbait and the system is less like ChatGPT and more like the YouTube Algorithm machine learning. It takes into account the stuff that students do well at and let's them advance beyond "grade level" limitations while also learning how to present problem areas in ways the student responds to.
I had asked my home schooled AI researcher buddy his thoughts and he obviously liked it. I like the idea too, but my hang up was on socializing kids. That to me is the more important role of schools.
I wouldn't trust an LLM in this set up though. A human tutor would still need to step in for questions outside of a FAQ IMO. I love working with an LLM by giving it all the manuals, guides, and config files I used then asking where I went wrong because it can usually give me a good enough interpretation to see where to go next. But that's just a rubber duck. My mind and skills are developed. A kid learning math for Tue first time can't do that.
As a floatplane subscriber, you're really not missing much. I don't even watch most of the exclusives.
Oh the rossman video.
I hate how obsessed on dumb shit he gets. The man is legitimately doing great work usually, and then he takes something minor that an otherwise ally says or does and blows it out of proportion.
This man would have made a great tankie. Unfortunately he made a whole 20 minute video on why AOC is stupid for saying unskilled labor doesn't exist and then explaining exactly the points she was making.
I legitimately love this mans work and I wanna support him, but man is he petty.

I gotta see my spell work damn it!
We had users at work who swore by that so hard that my boss bought licenses for "Classic Shell" that just did that.
Usefulness wise, the pinned program and search method is objectively much better.
I'm gonna say it.
I thought windows 8/8.1 were very fun
That really adds to the evidence that he's always been a sell out.
Its obvious in retrospect but now that he's a right wing grifter its hard to avoid now.
