"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

  • Three months before AI was introduced, the adenoma detection rate (ADR) was around 28%.
  • Three months after AI was introduced, the rate dropped to 22% when clinicians were unassisted by AI.
  • The study found that AI did help endoscopists with detection when used, but once the assistance was removed, clinicians were worse at detection.

What a strange place to be. Detection went up with AI, which is good. But, now you're at the mercy of the AI companies, hoping they don't double the price, and if you can't pay, you end up worse than where you started.

Also, this quote stood out to me.

“Often, we expect there to be a human overseeing all AI decision-making but if the human experts are putting less effort into their own decisions as a result of introducing AI systems this could be problematic.”

YES. I see this all the time. My coworkers tend to rubberstamp the AI generated code. Which makes sense. If they were too lazy to think through a problem—why would they suddenly be meticulous in fact-checking AI slop?
