I used to look forward to emails from Oxford about new textbooks coming out and emerging fields of research.
Now they send me this fucking attrocity of an email about an event for AI "innovation" simulation in Healthcare, generating studies.
It took me a mere 148ms to unsubscribe, the only reason the date isn't censored is because I hope somebody attends and makes a ruckus. FUCK YOU OUP.
I went to visit my GP about a year ago and he said something like "We're trialling this AI thing that's going to listen to our conversation if that's ok".
I like the guy and understand that most people don't really understand tech so I said something like "I'd prefer we disabled it if that's ok". He reacted as though I'd asked to finger his butt hole.
I spared him the following rant but... I just don't understand why anyone would actually want that. I want a doctor that listens to me when I talk to him. If he actually remembered me and kind of got to know me over the years that would be a bonus but it's not really necessary.
I just want to talk to a human and have that human listen to me.
I do not want an LLM to listen in and prompt the GP to refer me to their in-house dietician because I mentioned I'm feeling a bit flat.
