Comment on AI Eroded Doctors' Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study
RogueBanana@piefed.zip 1 day agoNo, this is about me trying to fix their buggy ai code that they have no idea how it works and what it isn't working. If you can do your work completely on your own without issues then whatever but if you are breaking stuff and come to me along for help cause you don't know how your own code works then that's a massive problem. I don't mind teaching people, I actually enjoy it but that's only when you are putting in effort to learn it instead of copy pasting code from copilot.

Okay cool, that’s not what’s happening here.
These aren’t “vibe doctors.” They’re trained oncologists and radiologists. They have the skill to do this without the new tool, but if they don’t practice it, that skill gets worse. Surprise.
For comparison: can you code without a compiler? Are you practiced? It used to be fundamental. There must be e-mails lamenting that students rely on this newfangled high-level language called C. Those kids’ programs were surely slower… and ten times easier to write and debug. At some point, relying on a technology becomes much smarter than demonstrating you don’t need it.
If doctors using this tool detect cancer more reliably, they’re better doctors. You would not pick someone old-fashioned to feel around and reckon about your lump, even if they were the best in the world at discerning tumors by feel. You’d get an MRI. And you’d want it looked-at by whatever process has the best detection rates. Human eyeballs might be in second place.

I never implied they are vibe doctors? Its just a comment on my annoying experience, don't read to much into it.

“Concerning that the same is happening in medical even for the experts.”
It isn’t.
Glad we cleared that up?

Yes indeed, AI problems. Glad we cleared it up.
