i disagree with this strongly because i think you are making a large number of unfounded assumptions particularly that AI will think in terms of drugs and not health. it will be very much the opposite. it's humans that think in square and circular holes, not AI, and AI will not have the pharma company bias doctors do.

GPT cured my friend's migraines that had been plaguing her for 15 years. she had been to several top hospitals, TCM, and other modalities. nada. it literally said "go get this test." when it was positive, it just adjusted her diet. "take X sodium in the morning, none after lunch, take X magnesium at night. cured it.

i think you have this the wrong way round. AI is the path back to holistic health and out of the small mind, high bribe pharma fixation.

Did AI cure it or was AI able to quickly find all the research and published information on that situation, and present the best one? That's what it does. And it's good at it. Reasoning and development, not so much.

AI did it better than the 15 years worth of other doctors she saw.

Then she didn't do her research very well. I have cured my dogs of seizures, gallstones, leaky gut and myself of anemia just from going to a couple of naturopaths and some google searches.

This is great, but what if the research is utterly corrupt? Will AI see through all the data cherrypicking and faultyonpurpose study designs (see Pfizer and Moderna c 2020) that lead to proclamations of "safe and effective!"?

Has the rule of "garbage in, garbage out" magically ceased to function?

I didn't get my research from AI, and sure, it can be corrupt. AI will NOT see through the cherrypicking and faultyonpurpose study designs. It takes the Official Narrative as gold.

So, no, garbage in, garbage out is still very very valid and probably moreso than ever.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't addressing your point as much as expressing how aghast I am at this naive take by GatoMalo. I hope I'm wrong.

Yep, IтАЩm staying optimistic AI can and will be used to fight the healthcare racket. It might be a mix of humans and machines, but as some have said, the system canтАЩt get much worse than it is currently. Healthcare needs this kind of competition.

Ai and heart ablation through robotics is minimally invasive, reducing surgical risks, and is highly effective in treating A-fib which causes strokes. Gone are the days of open heart surgery ablation. This is another way that Ai is aiding in medicine and saving lives. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fH2uQ1hi0

I also think the smart devices offer significant information that AI can use in real time as it picks up on heart rate variability, sleep and as humans input their diets and feeding times then that can be used as well. Patterns and logistics can be seen by AI that humans are not able to see. It does offer some advantages

Hospitals are not using GPT; they are using the proprietary AI embedded in EPIC.

Big difference. GPT will likely not tell you to use remdesivir for COVID in 2025.
