"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.

I work in radiology and I’ve been saying this for years. AI tools probably won’t replace us because of liability. We will have all of the liability while AI tools push us to work faster and faster for less money. I suspect this will happen with a lot of jobs.
I don't know how it works with radiology, but my experience in software engineering is that reviewing the slop code takes more time than writing it, especially when it is crap and you have to send it back again and again and then review it.
At this point I either have to go through honestly which is extremely slow and frustrating to both sides, or accept the slop without review and then deal with tech debt later.
Both options are bad.
Well in radiology we are searching images for specific findings so the generative slop problem isn’t the issue for us, it will be being overwhelmed with false positives or false negatives with a time pressure to go faster. I’ve been trying to follow the impacts of these models on the coding professions and I do not envy you at all. It really does seem like a rock and a hard place right now.
It takes less efffort to eliminate the man whipping you than it takes to perform the work at the unreasonable rate your current whip demands. Delay work, Deny work, Defend your fellow workers. Turn the weapons of the oppression against it, UNITE, UNIONISE!
And that's one of the few fields where it makes sense too. A system that circles potential areas of interest on medical scans is a useful thing.
like some posts on the subs, they probably want to staff hospitals less and put all the work on the few mds they hire, to squeeze out more work for them, without hiring more radiologists,MD.
