Again, this is just one single person's experience. So not worth much.

#32I feel like I'm going nuts. There are other commenters saying this is a good practice they've also done for other injuries. You are saying you are an actual radiologist and immediately clock the problems with its advice. I have seen this pattern over and over again. Anytime someone is an actual expert at anything, AI output appears insufficient or incomplete or outright misleading. It is only when you do not know wha…

Yes, this is exactly so. AI is able to confidently sound plausible enough to convince laypersons or anyone who isn't very familiar with the subject matter, which is a big part of the mass-appeal "magic" of ChatGPT and other similar tools. It's like having a know-it-all friend (who also makes shit up to bridge their own knowledge gaps).
In many non-advanced non-specialized situations, AI is right enough to be at best useful or at worst not harmful (usually landing in the middle somewhere).
But speaking for myself, in areas where I consider myself quite proficient, I can very easily spot the subtle inconsistencies and naive conclusions that AI responses provide, and I have to guide/steer/correct it a lot to get good results when the subject matter is complex enough.

#35Always worth a share for this scenario. It's not clear if LLMs are capable of doing actual analysis on medical imaging. For details see this article https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/frontier-models... > As detailed in a new, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, a team of researchers at Stanford University found that frontier AI models readily generated “detailed image descriptions and elaborate reasoning traces…

Nightmare because they're always right and the A.I second guessing is always wrong, or because they just don't like to be second guessed?
Nightmare because the AI is just generating a random text that fits the question.

#37That might be doctors new nightmare: people who second guess everything with AI. Previously it was "google your symptoms".
Pretty much the like most manager these days, so I understand the frustration of the GPs.

I asked a clanker about symptoms I was having. (I'm not an idiot, I was already on my way to hospital, clanker was just to take my mind off symptoms during the drive.) The clanker said I'd be fine, I just needed some rest and OTC meds. The medical staff immediately turfed me to surgery because the same set of symptoms I told the clanker were enough to concern them that I needed emergency surgery. Had I have listened…

"Be wowed by the convenience and speed", or merely "take advantage of the mere availability"? What most people find to be damning about expert advice is that they simply can't get it anywhere, at any cost that they can afford.
