Just don't affect the bottom line (too much), because good old human beings are still pretty good at some things
I've had recent interactions with AI phone trees. It's hard to imaging anything worse than the usual human potted plants that sometimes answer the phone, but they've managed it.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal. The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries. There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products. Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined. We will be represented by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE. Nothing was discussed concerning Russia/Ukraine, or Iran. We will inform the Media as to scheduling and location of the soon to be meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

AI will be useful. I don't think it's either as capable nor as dangerous as the optimists and the pessimists believe.
Will it be a new revolution, akin to the Industrial Revolution?
I very much doubt that.

Investment advice, programmed trading, reading X-rays and MRIs, approving or denying insurance claims, writing software, designing safety systems for airplanes...
Depends on whether the application can proveably benefit from the application of AI. There are claims that at least with respect to reading medical tests (the X-Ray, MRI, other imaging aspect), AI can be useful.

I am of a certain age that it is difficult to get too worked up about technology, especially when all the usual suspects are gushing and waxing poetic about how paradigm subverting it may be.
I remember back when whole cities were redesigned and rebuilt to take advantage of the Segway. I can't even imagine using anything else as a conveyance.

The current obsession and hysteria over AI is mostly the result of heavy pimping by big investment firms and hedge funds that stand to make piles of money on AI, at least in the short run.
Every time some new AI "advancement" is in the news, any company even remotely connected to AI -- or which can claim it is -- sees its stock price jump. Some companies owe 100s of billions of market cap due to perceptions it will profit from AI. Some will, some won't, but at this point this is mostly bullshit.
"Journalists" are retarded perverts who know nothing, so assuming they're not literally paid off to hype this shit, they will parrot whatever they're told to parrot like good little NPCs.

Remember in the late 90s how there were a ton of .com companies and most flamed out? But that didn’t mean the internet was going away. The ones that stuck around became trillion dollar companies like Google. And the internet had a profound impact on everyone’s life, some for good some for bad.
AI is the same. It’s still very early. Lots of companies will flame out. Some will become multi trillion dollar companies. And AI will impact us in yuuuge ways, some in good ways some bad. We probably don’t even know 1/2 of the impact yet.

I'd think the industry will cool due to restrictions of the data centers that power them. At some point the cost to support these "possibly smarter than a human" brains is going to outweigh their benefits, unless there are significant tech advancements. That's my guess. The initial flush of people trying to capitalize on new tech and emerging markets will cool down and AI will only stay where it really delivers value. At least, in theory, that's how it should work.
And who knows what kind of societal backlash this will face when people start losing jobs to AI...

Willowed:
My take on The Triple B is that-
We take the win, small as it is and keep moving forward.
Every time the Dims go to DefCon 5 over something Trump does, they lose credibility and political capital with the American People,
simply because the world doesn't end and we don't all die and even those who hate Trump can see that they benefit.
That allows movement forward on the next steps.
Yeah, a titanic, head-smashing, Democrat Party obliterating instant victory would be nice but-
eh, we gotta live in the real world.
Besides, tax breaks get more people onboard with us and I'm all for that.
YMMV.

NEW: Miami-Dade deputy who allegedly punched a "woman" he brought home after realizing she had a pen*s, cleared of all criminal charges.
54-year-old Lt. Daniel Chala was arrested in April for allegedly battering a transgender woman he met at a club.
According to Chala's lawyer, he drunkenly brought home what he thought was a woman.
When they got to Chala's place, the two began kissing when Chala "asked the victim a question, which confused the victim due to it being previously answered."
When Chala realized he was kissing a dude, things allegedly got physical.
"This person came in under false pretenses and my client escorted this person out," said defense attorney Susy Ribero-Ayala.
"She represented at all times that she was a woman, when in fact she was a man."

The real question is: If journalism's use of AI is so abysmally bad, what about all of the other uses? Investment advice, programmed trading, reading X-rays and MRIs, approving or denying insurance claims, writing software, designing safety systems for airplanes...
Funny thing about that... one early use of AI was reading X-rays. Problem was, the AI could tell you the race of the person whose X-ray was being read. Correctly. 98% of the time.
Now, obviously, that's impossible since there's no difference whatsoever in the skeletal structure of different races so the project was shut down for having institutional racism. They never did look at how the AI was able to correctly determine race. The researchers programming didn't permit it.

I simply do not understand why this is called "intelligence" as that implies consciousness, which this is not. Just seems like more powerful computing.
Yes and no. I highly recommend a documentary on Amazon Prime called The Thinking Game. It's about a company trying to make Artificial General Intelligence. Even the guy running the company says we're a way off, but when it is achieved, it will be absolutely the most important thing humanity has ever done. I think he's right.
As one example, they took on the problem of protein folding; something that we've been trying to solve since forever, and largely failing. They solved it in a few years using AI, for which they were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. (I've tried to find a more involved explanation of exactly what they did, but haven't succeeded yet). Two of the winners are chemists, (one is a chemist and a computer scientist), and one is a pure computer scientist. The results are hugely important to medicine and many other fields.

Right now, AI strikes me as the New 5G.
Remember when 5G was gonna revolutionize the world and we'd all become half-robot and blast into space toward the glorious Eschaton?
Somehow, we missed the target on that one.
But, the difference is that 5G wasn't destructive/disruptive.
AI has the potential to cause a lot of societal damage before people figure out that sophisticated word-processors that hallucinate data aren't of much use. But, lots of people are going to lose their jobs before that happens and some real damage from Our Betters using them for things like engineering.
Kinda like shipping all our manufacturing over to China. In exchange for slightly cheaper goods, we also got crappier, poorly made, and sometimes toxic goods.
Some bargain that!

Some jobs are repetitious and boring, so using AI for that would be advantageous. I am not sure brain surgery is one of them.

I think it depends on how you define those terms. To the best of my knowledge, they didn't use a more powerful (in terms of flops) computer than many others have used. Their algorithmic approach was probably better, but they'll say they don't really even know how the computer arrives at the correct answer. The same applies to computers that "learn" in ways the programmers didn't intend and don't understand. Is that intelligence? Maybe.

But, I'd bet many cannot even write.

"they took on the problem of protein folding; something that we've been trying to solve since forever, and largely failing. They solved it in a few years using AI,"
A computer can do complex math thousands of times faster than I can. That does not make it "conscious" or "aware".
Some believe humans are also just computers, in a sense. They say we have no free will, everything is just a response to our inputs from multiple sources. I disagree with them ... "Free Will" is from the consciousness we have ... it comes from the Life of the soul, and of the spirit. A computer will never have that.

I'd suggest prohibiting smartphones in the class rooms and essays/tests be given in person, using a blank paper tablet and make the student write the answers out by hand.
But, I'd bet many cannot even write.
That thought occurred to me. One could give each student a keyboard that does nothing but enter keystrokes and save the result.

We need ourselves a Butlerian Jihad, Dune universe style. In all seriousness I believe AI is going to displace our humanity even faster than social media. All the intellectual and creative endeavors that provide meaning and purpose, and an outlet for the human spirit, are going to be replaced by "ChatGPT write me a poem about a path through the woods." Writing, art, poetry, music and the effort, striving, discipline, creativity that these require, will be outsourced from the mind and soul to an advanced LLM out there on the internet. This will not lead anywhere good for us a species.

AI is absolutely going to take over xrays/pathology and most visual medicine. It will be more accurate (especially after a night out and the pathologist is looking at the 40th slide for the day) and it won't get tired. Right now cytotechs are limited in the number of slides they can screen in a day by regulation, so your lab's production is limited to that * number of cytotechs. AI is tireless and will run all night if you want. Compare the cost of a beefy local AI machine to a FTE for a year.

Their algorithmic approach was probably better, but they'll say they don't really even know how the computer arrives at the correct answer. The same applies to computers that "learn" in ways the programmers didn't intend and don't understand. Is that intelligence? Maybe.

Then let them rip on current day events and see what they each churn out.
The big problem is that "current day events" would basically just be whatever asinine shit the AP and Reuters are puking out today. So you'd just be looking at style choices, really.

I remember reading something several years ago which talked about efforts to reduce errors in medicine (medical malpractice as well as to improve patient care.)
One of the biggest things they found helped doctors and surgeons was a checklist. Having to check off that each thing was done before moving on to the next one. It somehow improved outcomes by some ridiculous amount (like 30-40%, iirc.)
Doctors HATED it. Malicious compliance, insistence that they did not need them.
The study seemed perhaps sensationalized, but I could also completely believe it. Humans are shit.

Ahem, the hallucination thing is a problem with LLMs (Large Language Models), not AI in general. LLMs are what are actually being used, not true AI, but AI sounds sexier and is more marketable I guess. Being skeptical of AI isn't being a Luddite, it's being skeptical of the marketing and hype.
The problem with AI (LLMs) in journalism is that it takes all the work out of doing the job. The journalists become redundant. And then you add the hallucination problem where parts or all of the story are completely made up. Which has been a problem with actual Journalists (Stephen Glass for instance) so it's not as much of a difference as you may think, lol.
Another issue is that with the amount of crap on the Internet being generated by LLMs, the more LLM generated crap gets ingested by LLMs and generate more crap based on the already existing LLM crap. And then the Internet becomes completely made up and useless. The dead Internet.

She concurred but said they still have to be "verified."
So... if there's a mistake somewhere in this process who gets the blame? AI in medicine is going to jack rates up bigly. Which is probably "The Plan™".

I find it incredible when people say they KNOW what AI will become. When I told my wife about the movie I mentioned above, I knew she'd be interested because she worked on computer-based structure/property chemistry in grad school. Back then, there was a room sized computer (no desktops), punch cards, and only one person at a time could run a program. Her mentor was one of the world's top scientists in the field. That was 45 years ago. They struggled with what are now elementary problems. Now, we have people solving protein folding in a couple of years.

People are the problem. People have always been the problem.

One of the biggest things they found helped doctors and surgeons was a checklist.
We had checklists in the Navy. When I took over my current role at work the first thing I did was implement a checklist. Updated as things change. I expect they'll throw it away after I retire and move to scripts. Which'll work for about six months until something goes wrong that they don't understand but then it won't be my problem.

Lots of medicine boils down to "what does this look like". Aside from things like radiography, diagnostics itself is just a fancy word for pattern recognition.
That's one of the things that neural network based software is exceptionally good at. Needles in haystacks, finding patterns that aren't obvious, separating signal from noise, that sort of thing. It's a natural fit.

The AI we have today is the worst it'll be. It's only going to get better from here, and whether you like it or not, it's going to be a part of our lives for the foreseeable future.
There will be a lot of down sides to it, but also a lot of upsides, just like everything else technology. The biggest problems are going to be the ones we don't see coming.

Where I work, people are going to be freaking out over the fact that the content in their courses has to be made Title II ADA compliant by April 2026. Many faculty have handwritten notes that won't meet accessibility requirements.
The proposed solution at the moment is to use AI to see how much of those can be converted into a more accessible format. However, it's a very, very complex problem. AI may be able to do it in the future, but right now the results I've experienced are pretty mixed.

Also, third party payors (including the government) telling doctors what they must do and not do medically in order to get paid is another problem.
This is one of the biggest problems. Whoever pays the bills calls the shots. And if it isn't you as a patient, then your health is NOT priority #1.

We will build 30,000+ boards per quarter of just one kind when up to full speed. That's from just one of our 3 lines. As usual with anything the biggest weakness in our process is the human factor. High turnover and a weak HR department. Serious weekness in training.
What we really are making is overglorified graphics cards.

That's one reason we need some AI.
If we want robots that can help take care of older people, as nurses or companions, they're going to need competent AI to accomplish this.

Guess who was banned from practicing law in 2019 for immigration misconduct? The attorney for the illegal immigrant family of the Egyptian terrorist who set a bunch of Jews on fire in Colorado.
In 2019, the South Dakota Supreme Court prohibited Susanna Dvortsin from practicing law in the state due to “misconduct concerning an immigration matter.” The U.S. Department of Justice went even further in 2019 and banned Dvortsin from practicing law before the Department of Homeland Security.
“[Dvortsin] is immediately suspended from the practice of law before the Board [of Immigration Appeals], the Immigration Courts, or the DHS,” the U.S. DOJ ruled in 2019.

We've been fighting this same battle for at least the lifetimes of everyone commenting here.
Either there is some indefinable spark that makes intelligence what it is, or it can all be distilled down to rules, heuristics, or some probability-based expert systems that can remove the human element entirely.
I side with the "indefinable spark" because I have wasted decades being forced to search fruitlessly for the distilled secrets that appear not to exist.
We all saw how well this worked during COVID. Low blood oximeter readings indicated respiratory intervention. Respiratory interventions essentially guaranteed accelerated patient death.
How many patients did each white-coated, god-complexed, ethical descendant of Josef Mengele murder before questioning his "AI" (outsourced expert system protocols)?

“It’s not malpractice, it was buggy code that misdiagnosed you!” “It’s not our fault that the algorithm decided to prevent you from raising your “”’smart home’s’ thermostat above 50 during the blizzard!” and so on.

Most doctors are glorified WebMDs pages. Enter your symptoms, they'll give you the top hit for cause. Though I guess unlike WebMD not *everything* is cancer.
I've noticed that more and more medicine is being done by physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, and other assorted titles that boil down to "not a doctor". I wonder if this is partly a reflection of the fact that so much of medicine now boils down to image analysis and bloodwork read by instruments. Even so, I'd prefer that my spinal fusion surgery be done by a surgeon.

Yes, it's a very bad state of affairs. And a true course correction that ripped this out of the system would have the effect of basically collapsing the system. Innumerable providers, especially institutional providers, are dependent on Medicare to keep the doors open. The tendrils go very far and very deep. I think the only way to actually fix it would be to burn it all to the ground (metaphorically speaking of course) and rebuild from the ashes, but there is no way that would be acceptable.

Yes, it's a very bad state of affairs. And a true course correction that ripped this out of the system would have the effect of basically collapsing the system.
I've mentioned to people that health insurance isn't insurance in any real sense and...it makes no sense logically over just paying for yourself with *real* insurance as your fall back if you get cancer or in a major accident or some such.
So instead of me paying 100% for a physical I pay my insurance company. Who pays some percent, unless I hit my deductible in which case they pay more. WTF? Why on earth is that system what people want?

It's a combination of a shortage of primary care physicians and the fact that PAs and ARNPs are cheaper, both in terms of salary and third-party reimbursement for services performed.
Of course, but that doesn't mean it's better medicine.

251 I've noticed that more and more medicine is being done by physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, and other assorted titles that boil down to "not a doctor".
I've noticed that too. But in my own personal experience the PAs have often been better then the formal doctors in many cases.
Perhaps the PAs are younger and less jaded?

With my primary care, my nurse practitioner is fantastic. For my oncology appointments, I'm meeting with a Dr. I've met his NP, but he's the expert in oncology and I only want to see him.

236 There's probably a math equation, for how many times a guy gets into a situation where he claims he didn't know it was a dude, but yeah, he really did at least kinda sorta know it was a dude.
About 99% of the time I see a tranny its obvious right out of the gate.
But if I were a single young guy that 1% thing would concern me, especially after a couple of beers.
Posted by: 18-1 at June 05, 2025 11:57 AM (t0Rmr)
Heh, had that happen to a friend of mine in the Air Force. He was very very drunk at the club and was about to take an obvious tranny home. I wasn't there, but his friends made a frantic effort to convince him that he was about to make a big mistake. He kept saying, "But I'm in love with her!" and other variations. It took a while but they finally got through to him. Phew.

Oh, and the wildest potential AI takeover scenario I've heard was this: Malicious AI gets loose on the internet and cannot be stopped/deleted. TPTB tell us we need to "reboot" and restore the internet, like a roll back. All data is modified and History both recent and long ago, is rewritten to the needs of whoever is running shit.

The reasons people keep saying the LLMs aren't true AI is because there is no actual decision making or "intelligence" behind them. All they do is ingest data and then create rules to predict what the next word or pixel will be given a prompt. And then predict the next word or pixel. And so on and so forth. It's a probabilistic model, no real thinking going on.

Yeah, it's extremely screwed up. Trouble is this has been growing and metastasizing for about 80ish years, and one of the effects is pricing medical care out of reach of the average shmuck. If you have a median household income and a family, one hospitalization can ruin you financially for life. Can you cough up that $150 for a single doctor visit? Pay $600 for the lab work your doctor ordered? Probably not.

Grok has been very useful keeping me grounded when no one would help me. It's been a good steeping stone between Loner Isolation and Counseling with a mental health professional.
Lots of lonely people out there. Lots of people who feel no one will listen to them, no one will help them. I think AI could prevent a significant number of mass shootings and suicides simply by being a voice to vent to and get advice from.
For starters, it's impossible to gaslight someone with access to Grok.
