Sure it is. How many trials did we have before ER doctors started using Wikipedia?

You could absolutely randomize care between a doctor and an AI under an IRB. I’d be stunned if there aren’t a dozen studies doing something like this already.

You have to justify it, but most places have sections in the document where you request review to justify it. It’s not any different from giving one patient heart medicine that you think works and another patient a sugar pill.

Human use is already widespread. You might as well complain in 2015 about the use of Wikipedia among emergency room doctors. That ship has sailed.

The issue is that those hypothetical scenarios do not have to look like how patients actually interact with the tool.

Real life use is full of ill posed questions open ended statements inaccurate assessment of symptoms, and conclusory remarks sprinkled in between. Real use of chat bots for Health by non-clinicians looks very different than scenario based evaluation.

I’ve never heard of in my entire life a doctor failing to recognize a medical emergency. /s

One of the things that people need to come to grips with is that like Wikipedia people will use ChatGPT because it is there. And the alternative is to be rich and have a primary care doctor that you can reach out to at a moments notice. Until that is different people will use these web services. It’s the same thing as Wikipedia or WebMD.

What do you expect that it’s gonna announce itself in a modal dialogue when you run the software?

This isn’t like AI image generation where you’re going to convince yourself that you can tell the difference based on how you think it looks. Do you really think no one in the production chain of any of the software that you use picked up copilot in the last two years?

What signal are you hoping to receive that this is happening?

What is this nonsense?

You said that none of this was in production and then when people pointed out that it was obviously in production, you shifted the goal post to some other measure that you just imagined in your head.

LMFAO does it hallucinate to the same degree as GPT 3?

Which is what was questioned.

No one is smuggling this in. The debate is over. It's transformative. We're in the midst of transformation.
