It’s distressing that a non-zero amount of medical professionals will use this without disclosure or consent.
As someone who works in the field I can say that despite what it may seem I have never seen anyone not take HIPAA laws seriously. With that said i am sure you are right, but those people are the worst of the worst and most likely already breaking other laws as well.
It’s already happening, unfortunately. I work medical field adjacent and our org now has an AI committee, approved by legal. Several of the members, while good providers, are completely tech illiterate and love chatgpt. They were chosen specifically because they’ll be AI yes men due to not actually understanding what LLMs are and the extreme negatives of using them in academia and the medical field.
Elon is right. A couple of weeks back I uploaded an x-ray of my lung carcinoma and within seconds Grok provided me with an AI image of me as a young naked girl.
My step mom has started second-guessing her doctor with ChatGPT.
Then she goes back to her doctor and confronts him with its nonsensical recommendation.
And he has to explain to her why it’s bullshit.
Which, of course, she then asks AI if what he says is right.But what’s a lot scarier is that doctors have started using ChatGPT for diagnostics, too.
AI’s can be useful for medical questions to check what kind of diseases match certain symptoms and if going to a doctor is needed, but I sure wouldn’t trust them over a doctor after already going to a doctor
Translation: we haven’t been able to get around HIPAA, so please voluntarily give us your data.
It’s so fun that we get to watch the collapse of civilization unfold in real time. It’s a real treat.
I don’t know if I’m more unsettled by the privacy breach or the idea that an LLM is as good as or even better than a doctor…
That first one is true, the second one isn’t.
4.20 hur dur so clever. And to think these chucklefucks are homosapiens. At least until grok can vibe code itself.
People are going to do this. It should be a crime, but here we are.
For people that can’t afford health care.
