It’s only a matter of time before some AI ‘textbook’ on some obscure field of medicine or surgery gets somebody killed.
- barelyauser 3y agoIt's only a matter of time before some internet "thing" on some obscure field of medicine or surgery gets somebody killed. There is no Utopy. Embrace the nature of reality. AI will become norm, and it will bring all the good and bad with it.
- convolvatron 3y agoit may be true that there is no other path, but we really can't help but notice that the bulk of human knowledge is being replaced by literal noise. that is going to be a real problem.
- coffeefirst 3y agoWe don't have to accept that. We regulated formaldehyde out of food, mercury out of "medicine," and fire safety into workplaces. AI doesn't get to be special just because some business would rather be negligent.
- hilbert42 3y ago"We don't have to accept that." True if we took action, but look at what we've already accepted that's questionable. Just take how we've accepted how the internet has deteriorated and rotted over the past 20 or so years because we as a society have done nothing to stop the rot. Individually we don't like what's happened, collectively we're now powerless to do anything about it because it's too late. The fact that Amazon has the irresponsible hide to sell books of this kind is proof enough. Amazon doesn't have to worry if someone dies, Bezos won't be charged. Things have changed.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI've literally seen another commenter comment here on HN that chatgpt has given them more and better medical advice then their doctor. It's already happened probably and we don't know it. It's almost guaranteed that someone has asked for and taken bad medical advice from AI sources to their detriment.
