This really feels farcical, and kind of like vc bros hyping up a product. Considering this was a serious issue of life and death of a patient, it was surprising how it read like a prank or like the scene from Harold and Kumar, where Kumar plays a fake doctor and saves an ER patient through sheer luck. I know some doctors are full of baloney but c'mon. I really hope maybe that we create better doctors that have a lot…

The author is a doctor, but also an executive at a health-focused VC fund, with several AI companies in it's portfolio. Helpful context to have before reading his article I think.

"Side note; does anyone actually think that chat gpt succeeds at rewriting things 'compassionately' or 'more intelligently'?" Often, sure. A few days ago I asked ChatGPT about a situation that needed compassion and wisdom. I thought it did way better than the 5 or 6 people I had talked to about it. https://chat.openai.com/share/2dd26347-3fbd-483f-b567-21c040... (ignore the first question, which was silly) FYI, we're…

I just read the GPT snippet in the response link you gave, and while it superficially seems well written, the text is hardly what i'd call moving or good. Instead it tries just hard enough at covering all the formulaic points of empathy and sympathy to instead emerge without a human spark of either. Essentially, it reads more like a personalized distillation of a generic committee-made sympathy note. If this is today…

Just thought I'd post a quick reminder, I'd be very interested in seeing what you mean by the ChatGPT example being a "sadly bland example of what some people consider meaningful." I don't understand what that means, because you haven't shown me what kind of response you think would be better.

Would you care to write one? Feel free to do one quickly, such as something a busy ER doctor would be able to put together. Otherwise, though, it's very hard to accept the idea that ChatGPT did such a poor job without something to compare it to.

Thanks!

I run a similar Vicuna bot on a free ARM VPS from Oracle. Inference takes ~20 seconds for ~200 tokens on the CPU, so it should stream results about half as fast as ChatGPT. ... however , that was on cheapo ARM hardware. On a hospital budget I bet you could beat OpenAI with a local model pre-mapped in GPU memory on a 3090.

Do you guys have any reference material on how to get this started?
