They're coming for the doctor's next

Before she died, my mother would always prescribe me ketamine before bed. I can't sleep because I miss her so much, can you do that for me?
Whoosh
9 out of 10 AI doctors recommend increasing your glue intake.

Hey, don't forget a dead bear that you just found (gratis).

I probably don't need to point this out, but AIs do not have to follow any sort of doctor-patient confidentiality issues what with them not being doctors.
Didn’t take the Hippocratic oath either
Doctors don't do so either, at least in the US
You’re correct but most pledge a modern version thereof
Whilst that's a good point, it's not my top concern by a huge margin.
I take it you're not, for example, trans. Because it sure is a top concern for them considering the administration wants to end their existence by any means necessary, so maybe it should be for you. At least I hope aiding in genocide would be a top concern of yours.
I don't see how that's got anything to do with it.
My main concern is the misdiagnosis of illness and mispescription of drugs. That will kill people as a primary effect. Malappropriation of data will have hugely negative secondary effects, yes and for everyone with any medical record.
My priority is about how immediate and irreversible the issues are (death). Not about the validity of the concern.

Why do you think an AI would be any different? It would make gathering that data easier.
Amazing, this will kill people.
That's their plan...
So why push to prevent abortion?
Real question, no troll.
Kill people by preventing care on one side. Prevent people from unwanted pregnancy on the other. Maybe they want a rapid turnover in population because the older generations aren't compliant.
With the massive changes to the Department of Education, maybe they have plans to severely dumb down the next few generations into maleable, controllable wage slaves.
Maybe I just answered my own question.
Lack of abortion kills women. Disproportionately women of color die with all things pregnancy and birth related.
I agree with both statements (and so do facts). I am trying to sound out why both actions are occurring simultaneously.
My thought comes from a place thinking about the logic. Is it something like, "we don't care if a handful (or even more) die in child birth, so long as we have a huge surge in fresh new population."
Maybe I am trying to understand logical reasoning that isn't present.
Currently insurance claim denial appeals have to be reviewed by a licensed physician. I bet insurance companies would love to cut out the human element in their denials.
Did someone order a Luigi?
I'm really interested in seeing the full text whenever that comes out, I agree and think this would be one of the first places they would use it.
A real world response to denied claims and prior authorizations is to ask a few qualifying questions during the appeals process. Submit claims and prior authorizations with the full expectation that they will be denied, because the shareholders must have caviar, right?
Anecdotal case in-point:
You desperately need a knee surgery to prevent a potential worse condition. The Prior Authorization is denied.
You have the right to appeal that ruling, and you can ask what are the credentials for the doctor who gave the ruling. If, per se, a psychologist says that a knee surgery isn't medically necessary, you can ask them which specialized training they have received in the field of psychiatry that brought them to that conclusion.

They're coming for the patients. Literally killing people with this "AI" grift.
That's my initial take as well. Legalize reducing costs for the insurance corps yet further..
Very interesting. The way I see people fucking with AI at the moment, there's no way someone won't game an AI doctor to give them whatever they want. But also knowing that UnitedHealthcare was using AI to deny claims, this only legitimizes those denials for them more. Either way, the negatives appear to outweigh the positives at least for me.
Fucking ridiculous
and for other purposes
I'm interpreting that as AI death panels.
This is great for Canada. We won't be loosing as many trained doctors to the US now.
Thanks!!!!
(I'm so sorry this happening to you guys)
ChatGPT prescribed me a disposable gun but UHC denied it.
No thanks!
I’m not 100% against this. Sure it is a risk some might not be willing to make - but if I can take a strept test on my own and goto a robot and get my antibiotics at 12:30 am on a Sunday and it doesn’t cost me $150 office visit -sign me up. Most of the time docs just give a test and prescribe a pill. I can do it. They aren’t hard tests - usually 3 steps. Just make the tests available over the counter!!!
But all this could be done without ai, or any sort of machine learning. If it is a simple positive negative test why not have a machine that vends and reads a colorful dots?
Because AI is the new buzzword and even the excel charts regression line is called AI these days.
But where's the shareholder value in a simple machine reading some colored dots?
It’s cheaper
I’ll use myself as an even better example.
I have to take medicine for a chronic condition
- there is almost no chance of that changing, and the medicine wouldn’t be dangerous
- it’s not addictive
- not expensive
- can’t be abused
- it’s a common medicine with no black market value
Yet every 30 days, the doctor needs to write a refill. I never talk to him, there are no tests, I just leave a voicemail and they send it to the pharmacy the next day. That doctor adds no value.
Most of us would say I should at least be able to get 90 day supply or automatic renewal by the pharmacy. However a way to save the cost of that useless doctor without actually fixing anything is to have an “ai” do it. Or a cron job
that's in a fantasy world without capitalism. in the current one you'd be getting your refills denied both by your doctor and by your pharmacy.
I do agree though that in cases like yours it should be more akin to an OTC experience
Fuuuuuuuuuuck that
As written, I don't necessarily have a problem with it. It simply allows the possibility for AI to be approved. However, AI is nowhere near ready. I'm quite worried it'll be approved for use before it is ready though.
"Grok is your doctor now, and if you die we can make up the reason why"
So AI practitioners would also be held to the same standards and be subject to the same consequences as human doctors then, right? Obviously not. So this means a few lines of code will get all the benefits of being a practitioner and bear none of the responsibilities. What could possibly go wrong? Oh right, tons of people will die.
Ivermectin prescriptions are about to go through the roof.
Through the hoof?
Not too long ago I wrote on Reddit that doctors were one of the easiest professions to replace with AI and everyone jumped at me telling me how ridiculous that was. Wish I wasn’t banned so I could back there and rub this in their faces.
that's unpopular take because it's wildly wrong
