I take your point. The version I heard of that joke is “the person who graduated at the bottom of their class in med school”.
Still, at the moment we can try to avoid those doctors. I’m concerned about the popularizing and replication of bad advice beyond that.
The problem here is this tool is being marketed to GPs, not patients, so you wouldn’t necessarily know where the opinion is coming from.
I’d hope the bar for medical advice is higher than “better than the worst doctor”.
Will be interesting to see where liability lies with this one. In the example given, following the advice could permanently worsen patients.
Given that the advice is proven to be wrong and goes against official medical guidance for doctors, that could potentially be material for a class action lawsuit.
When we look at passing scores, is there any way to quantitatively grade them for magnitude?
Not all bad advice is created equal.
I would idolize Avasarala if it wasn’t for S1E1.
China does this too. I love getting files in this format.
I think I’m just going to have to agree to disagree.
AI getting a diagnosis wrong is one thing.
AI being bulit in such a way that it hands out destructive advice human scientists already know is wrong, like vaccines cause autism, homeopathy, etc, is a malevolent and irresponsible use of tech imo.
To me, it’s like watching a civilization downgrading it’s own scientific progress.
