I’m not sure if I just thought this up sitting on the tiles in my shower room or if I dreamt it, but still.
Edit: I’m being cynical and I hate our blind faith in and reliance on LLMs.

You think that can be accurately encoded in a text predictor?
Like sure eventually computers will be powerful enough to Turing machine an LLM into something useful - a la monkeys on typewriters. But the efficiency of such a system is compatible to natural selection in its probability distribution. When a Dr 40 years ago could have given you the same, and actually describe why without taking another 2^256 years to compute.
I really don’t understand why everyone thinks that chatbots and image generators are the only form of AI out there. AI has been around for decades longer than chatbots. Industrial AI isnt designed to chat. It’s designed to work.
Yeah but in a post about LLMs I think the context clues kinda enforce what AI algorithm is being discussed.
I suppose it is only mentioned in the edit of OP, but still
I thought the spirit of the discussion was ethics of allowing machines to make medical decisions. Which, I think is a valid philosophical discussion that needs to happen soon, because the technology is quickly going to put us there.
Using a digital Magic 8 ball to make those decisions is just nonsense, and there’s nothing to discuss.
You got me there not gonna lie.
I think I have a hard time seeing technological/ethical/philosphical as new cause most of it is just a change in order of magnitude over old mathematical/ethical/philosophical debates, but that is my own bias. Honestly I feel like comparing AI models is closer to that stupid Nazi “skull measuring” bs than a generalisable framework for the universe.
On the medical ethical side, I’d trust a computer to make decisions that require that processing order of magnitude (or sampling frequency/sampling method) - but again I feel like we were already accepting this back in the 40s with early digital sensors, and even more so in the 90s on with microchips.
But I wouldn’t trust them on emotional decisions and interpretation, cause why try to approximate some then when real humans exist.
So TLDR my hot take is Drs have for a while been human machine translator/therapists, which ends up being a pretty damn technical job.
This is such a good summary of my thinking process. Thanks! 😀
