A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

real doctors do the same, they generally ignore heart attack symptoms, or pain symptoms and pass it off as your "pmsing". Its worse if your an african american women, due to racist stereotypes they ignore them altogether, compared to white women.
Which is why the algorithms do it. They're trained on bad data produced by a medical system with longstanding biases.
