This morning the clinic collected my 6 year olds weight wrong twice because the nurse didnt know the difference between 6.13 lbs and 6lbs 13 Oz.
That's the difference between a baby that is 20% underweight and dying versus its birth weight.
I made them show me how they did it twice before leaving.
After I left I got a call from the doctor apologizing that all of their neonates weights were wrong that morning because their staff don't know the difference between decimals and ounces
Humans are incredibly error prone. Modern llms are far better than that.
When my wife was pregnant, the OB was asking an LLM for medication contraindcations while we were in the office. She showed us the model she used.
