Hi Bud,

What AI did you use to ask the medical questions? About a year ago I did a short test of ChatGPT and asked a complex medical question and got a very accurate and pretty detailed correct answer. While one test does not mean much at least that answer was correct.

If AI is trained on all possible internet answers it is a wonder it would get anything correct. I assume that the way one asks a question would also have something to do with the answer. You could possibly test that theory by asking the two question "What gas is produced when zink is placed in a beaker of Hydrochloric acid"
Then ask "What gas is produced when Zn is placed in a beaker of HCL" The correct answer is hydrogen gas. Then ask to list the ways I can produce hydrogen gas at home (however unsafely...lol)

Even if medical AI can become more accurate than medical doctors other issues come into play. You will need a doctor to approve the answer if for no other reason than he will demand to get paid. Also, how do you deal with the issue of principles of clinical ethics and their application to practice?

Would AI know for example that one of the four ethical principles is Autonomy? Would it be able to relate that to the philosophical underpinning for autonomy, as interpreted by philosophers Immanuel Kent and John Stuart Mill. They go on to say that all persons have intrinsic and unconditional worth, and should have the power to make rational decisions and moral choices among other things they said which was affirmed in a court decision by Justice Cardozo in 1914 with the epigrammatic dictum "Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body.

To what I think Floyd was saying in general we have little ethical consideration utilized by people in power to include all corporations and the federal government. The general public in the United States in many cases wants cradle-to-grave protection from the federal government and has the necessity to believe the feds will be on their side and protect them. They, in many cases, have no interest in the truth and in fact, will profane it.

Will AI in all cases produce accurate results? No, but the same could be said for doctors. Medical mistakes are the second or third leading cause of death in the United States.

AI in its current form can accurately answer many more questions than I could if asked the same question. My answers would most likely be only 10% correct while AI would likely be 90% correct.

I don't think AI is the savior we would like it to be nor the monster some think it will become.

AI could potentially solve many issues that in our arrogance and stupidity we will fail to implement. We will put in place what most benefits those who are in power. " Lions eat Water Buffalo"

Cheers,

Billy

EDIT: I ask the test question and this is the result. When zinc is added to hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. This reaction can be represented by the equation: Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2↑. The hydrogen gas is released as bubbles during the reaction.
