Some of my classmates used chatGPT to summarize reading assignments and it garbled the information so badly that they got things wrong on in-class assessments. Aside from the hallucinations and jumbled garbage output, I refuse to use AI unless there is absolutely no alternative on an ethical basis due to the environmental and societal impacts.
As far as I’m concerned, the only role for LLMs in medicine is to function as a scribe to reduce the burden of documentation and that’s only because everything the idiot machines vomit up has to be checked before being committed to the medical record anyways. Generative AI is a scourge on society and an absolute menace in medicine.
Except that your opinion, and mine, are irrelevant.
New AI models, and new studies that evaluate them, will continue to be produced. If and when those studies show that using AI leads to better outcomes, then that will become the gold standard. That’s just how evidence based medicine works.
I just don’t see a world in which it becomes the gold standard prior to getting so horribly enshittified that no medical institution can justify the cost of the accursed thing.
