Ergonomics. It's extremely easy to use, especially in the GUI department. Generally, many things are super easy to use but not always top performance. Other things (macros) are truly exceptionally powerful, but rather complicated. So,

Refuse to work that way?? And how are we supposed to do that? Stop working until our requirements are met and leave everyone on their own during that time? Who do you think people would blame? The C-suite execs? The only choice you really h

Almost all medical specialties require a massive amount of know-how, and are only very weakly data-driven. I'm an anesthesiologist, and even anesthesia is weakly data-driven. Honestly, people who think AI can replace a doc in the curre

I wouldn't say "teach". But you're right that docs are forced to obey insurance companies. Not only in the US, but everywhere insurance companies are a thing. Yet, docs are almost always the main target for complaints,

I'm a doctor and I've been following this saga for a while. What you wrote does not match my experience. Firstly, you overestimate our political reach by a large margin. If you can have acceptable service for massively cheaper, i

In medical research no, last authors usually know little about what's going on. There are entire departments where the head puts his/her name on everything that comes out. We're talking tens of papers a year...

For the record, I'm not in favor of such rules. Yes, you're really toxic, and display the typical US reaction. I'm fucking relieved that I don't have to deal with US egos and all this US political shit anymore. Peace out

Many people feel the way you do, and it's understandable. Those laws vary from country to country, but variations of the same are found throughout western countries. It's in part a remain of the paternalistic medicine of olden tim

I am a doctor, and I encourage you to learn about how diagnostic test performance is modelled, and the consequences linked to overtesting and testing without contextual knowledge. It may change your perspective and lead you towards less ext

As almost every comment of this kind on this site, you are missing the wider socioprofessional context. Yeah sure, you may find papers about plenty of things that may affect you without your doc's knowledge, perhaps even guidelines tha

Basically, the only incentives are to slightly improve your resume by showing you are a reviewer for reputable journals, and to get fee waivers for publishing your own work in said journal (in crappy journals, usually). But you if you revie

Honestly, I don't think it's viable to manually optimize for quantity in academic paper reviewing, specifically. But I might be wrong, of course. I think it's too much work for very little profit.

by rscho 3y ago
It's relevant because AI allows you to work faster and in larger volumes, and pushes quality down in the process. Because the user will optimize for quantity, not quality (which wouldn't be a viable choice in the absence of AI)

Journals and academia are starting to reward reviewing papers (you can mention your reviews on your resume), so I don't think it's irrelevant. The supposed AI reviewer here is probably polluting journals with dozens of poor qualit

Security-critical tasks and programming language research will involve humans coding for the foreseeable future. I don't think you'd like your surgical robot to be programmed in English.

'Open access' currently translates to 'pay the publisher $5000 upfront'. I think they're making even more money with this scheme than the previous pay-to-read one. Keep in mind that most papers are never cited, and

Phenylephrine is ineffective when taken orally. It is super effective topically or iv. I can definitely tell, because it's the most commonly used vasopressor used under anaesthesia (iv). Also used topically to avoid nosebleeds during n

Oral and rectal blood goes directly to the greater circulation without going through the liver (that metabolizes most toxins) first.
