A half-working system might actually be worse than useless if people believe it 100% of the time.
- textninja 4y agoThere’s a simple solution to that problem.
- 3np 4y agoAnd a 98% working system even worse due to it being treated as 100%.
- kelnos 4y agoWell that depends. If a hypothetical emergency room doctor is right about patient diagnoses 90% of the time, then treating the even more hypothetical 98%-correct AI diagnoses as 100% will still probably give you better outcomes. We're still far off from that, and I'm skeptical we'll get there anytime soon, but humans aren't infallible either.
- b112 4y agoThe real problem is how humans react. Imagine a doc comes in, and is very wrong about a diagnosis. Say... you have a broken arm, doc says it is sprained. You say No! and point out why. AI says this, you say no, and the minumum wage person who works with the AI, shrugs and says the computer says so.
