    Anyway, the headline is a summary of the article, which itself is a summary of the study's findings. They naturally have levels of abstraction and distance from the nuance of the study. But this wasn't exactly clickbait.


    By sharing disinformation, you may be killing people.



    Nominating this for overreaction of the century because the headline was clear enough to infer correct context out of WITHOUT needing to open the article.

    Utilizing technology to accomplish a task, and offloading that task to technology, are two different functions. The way using a word processor to write your novel is different from having an "AI" compose a novel for you are two different things. I know you know this already, so why must you force me to say it?

    Anyway, the headline is a summary of the article, which itself is a summary of the study's findings. They naturally have levels of abstraction and distance from the nuance of the study. But this wasn't exactly clickbait. I won't try to change your mind, but I'll excerpt the parts I found important from the article, and everyone else can decide for themselves if the headline is misleading or not.

    Quote

    AI helped health professionals to better detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon, but when the assistance was removed, their ability to find tumors dropped by about 20% compared with rates before the tool was ever introduced, according to findings published Wednesday.
    ...
    The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, "leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance," the scientists said in the paper.
    ...
    What's more, the 19 doctors in the study were highly experienced, having performed more than 2,000 colonoscopies each. The effect on trainees or novices might be starker, said Omer Ahmad, a consultant astroenterologist at University College Hospital London.
    "Although AI continues to offer great promise to enhance clinical outcomes, we must also safeguard against the quiet erosion of fundamental skills required for high-quality endoscopy," Ahmad, who wasn't involved in the research, wrote a comment alongside the article.



    Relevant Subnautica quote:

    [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]I'm not really a doctor. I know that's what my ID says, but I never have been. Cheated the medical exams. What does a doctor these days need to know about manually resetting bones? When was the last time a top surgeon actually cut someone open? That's what the robots are for! Doctors these days read diagnoses off of computer readouts. For that, I'm perfectly qualified. But what good is it when I'm not connected to the main network? I'm bleeding. I've got glowing green pustules growing on my hands. I run a self-scan and it tells me I've got skin irritation. The only thing I studied in medical school was how to lie convincingly. The hell do I know how to treat an alien disease. I think I'm actually going to die down here.[/color]

    That's the problem. Given AI is championed by folk like Musk, it will neither be well-regulated or not abused.

    What an overblown nothing burger!

    Get a grip people.


    This from the same side of the political aisle (if you are still on that side BK; I don't know if Trump being a Pedo has swayed you to the left yet) had a complete and total meltdown over (checks notes) a trans woman daring to be featured in a Bud Lite ad...to the point of it being a Fox News talking point for weeks AND idiotic people like Kid Rock shooting cases of Bud Lite...


    And a meltdown over the plot of Superman including themes such as *check notes* themes common in Superman since *checks note* his first publication

    Rumors that Pete Hegseth will run for office in Tennessee and resign as SecDef. If true obviously just a soft landing for a man who knows he is out of his depth or who is being pushed out. I'd say this is good news except the bench of talent lined up to replace him will be the same or worst. Maybe a Hollywood celebrity who played a soldier once.


    OK, the challenge is to cast the new SecDef with the above proviso: an actor who (at least) once played a soldier.

    Go.


    I'd like to know more!

    Sorry for the late reply; lol, I'm nor even sure why I made this account. So yeah. But Hail Hydra, ya know. Haha.
    Also, belief it or not, I kinda imagined you'd have a BB avatar, after I'd seen your cover image. Nice to see I'm not always wrong. :p
