  • From what little I know if it, it’s sorta twofold what it does:

    1. It looks through documentation across a patient record to look for patterns a doctor might miss. For example, a patient comes in complaining of persistent headaches/fatigue. A doctor might look at that in isolation and just try to treat the symptoms, but an AI might see some potentially relevant lab results in their histories and recommend more testing to rule out a cancer diagnosis that the doctor might have thought unlikely without awareness of that earlier data.

    2. Doctors have to do a lot of busywork in their record keeping that AIs can help streamline. A lot of routine documentation, attestations, statements, etc. Since so much of it is very template-heavy already, an AI might be able to streamline the process as well as tailor it better to the patient. E.g. the record indicates “assigned male at birth” and an ER doctor defaults to he/him pronouns looking only at the medical birth sex marker, but the patient is also being seen by a gender clinic at which she is receiving gender affirming treatment as a trans woman and brings up that earlier data to correct the documentation and make it more accurate and personalized for the patient.

    In reality, I am sure that practices and hospital systems are just going to use this as an excuse to say “You don’t need to spend as much time on documentation and chart review now so you can see more patients, right?” It’s the cotton gin issue.

    Seems like a staged photo to me, given the obvious question “why was someone there to take a photo in the first place?” I have to assume it’s supposed to be like that meme of the guy with his girlfriend passing a person he is suddenly more attracted to, or in this case a stack of GPUs he is more attracted to.

    But at the same time, they started the community here, and it doesn’t seem right to dictate to the group running the place what they have to do with it. In any other circumstance, we would trust the mods to have the interests of the community in mind, as they come up with and enforce the rules/code of conduct on their own. And when we no longer trust them, we go somewhere else.

    Handing over the reigns to someone else to run the community would be an admirable move, but I don’t think it should be a requirement or even an expectation, given that anyone could just choose to start their own alternative community instead and run things however they want. And that’s what ended up happening anyways, and what I would prefer to let happen rather than propping up the corpse of LBZ 196.
