That’s not how insurance in the US works. Fundamentally it makes money by denying service and that will be it’s focus. Meanwhile costs will rise as the cost of healthcare reliably out paces both inflation and real wage growth. So you’ll pay more for even fewer services. It will not error to the benefit of people.

Maybe evil world concluding AI gets it start as a pharmacy benefit manager.

Maybe chatgp3 can open its own insurance and lower cost for people. 😀

Dang that's neat as heck, I can't wait for that

To be fair, most people struggle with that.

I can't tell you the number of times I've seen "50% increase" to mean the correct thing, only for somebody to use "200% increase" to mean 2x and not 3x the original number.

Do you blame the tool more or the person using it? The knife or the stabber?

Generally what focusing on efficiency means getting rid of low performing (not necessarily people not doing work, its just the lowest numbers) workers, and dumping that responsibility on those that are left, thus eventually creating burn out in those left which become the next group of low performing workers, and the cycle continues.

I'm not talking to you like you're five. I answered your question. If you don't like it, then don't read it.

But muh legacy fuels!1!

i don't know why you're talking to me like I'm 5 and have never dealt with doctors before

i could say more, but i doubt there would be any point

The math model was probably trained on those Facebook math problems involving order of operations that everyone argues about

If this is what it can do with a few years of development. Add another decade... damn son.

Don't worry, us engineers will be replaced long before then.

12 years? That’s 2 Zeldas.

Insurance companies are going to make you talk to these things before approving a trip to the doctor. I guarantee it will happen sooner than you think.

I'd probably pass too if my brain was connected to the internet.

That’s not what that post says. It’s not about working hard. You can work hard to do what you’re asked to do even if what you’re asked to do is not efficient.

Developer gets asked to create something stupid. They know it’s stupid but they get paid for it being built so they do it and move on because they don’t really care about the end product.

Versus

Developer gets asked to create something stupid and they turn that request into something more useful.

In both cases the person is working hard and earning their paycheck but one actually cares and one doesn’t. It’s very common for people in tech to work hard at delivering what they are asked to deliver but providing truly good solutions usually requires that workers actually care enough to fight for the best possible end product.

Toughen up buttercup. You are going to have to adapt.

None. Your first appointment with a doctor is a chance to get to know each other a little bit. You provide info about your health history, current status, and future goals, and you ask questions about how they will be able to help you meet your health goals. If they don't sound like they're going to be able to do what you need, then no hard feelings, they're just not the doctor for you, so you find another. Doctors have different specialties and focuses, and they have different approaches and proficiencies. Your job as a patient is to find a doctor with skills that align to your needs.

Yeah I tried to do some basic linear algebra using it and it did not do well.

and how many shitty doctors did you have to go through before you got that one?

That is not what I said. I said they have a duty to their shareholders, to act in their best interest, not to maximize profits. You're incorrectly putting words in my mouth.

As I understand it they're less concerned with making an AI doctor and more concerned with the increasingly likely scenario of someone using an AI to cheat on a licensing exam.
