My doctor invested in some medical AI system as an assist to help diagnose problems or potentially see things he's not seeing. He asked if it can be turned on during our appointments as it listens to the appointment, I said hell to the naw.

great instincts, but you might not want to turn down tech like this. here is what you can ask your doctor:

-what company made the software? (then research the company. maybe it's made by the Mayo Clinic or something totally fine). if they are just using chatgpt you can find a new doctor, btw.
-ask about peer reviewed research on the software. any credible studies by a real university? not some blogger.

there's probably some peer reviewed studies on the effectiveness of this kind of software.

tl;dr - this could possibly be legit, but not if they are just using copilot/gpt/etc that's ridiculous. this is actually like one of the best uses of deep learning and almost certainly we will use this in the future.

think about the training data on Cancer, for example. you have millions of xrays that you know are cancer and a million that you know are not. you train the ai on just that data, not the entire fanfiction internet library wikipedia gumbo stew of everything.

so the "ai" is just trained on fucking xrays. that's not really the same thing as chatgpt at all, right?
