Heard a story that a doctor used llm to prescribe medicine for chronic issue that had terrible side effects and another doc had to cancel it. Come to find out the labs didn't even match the meds. It's over, there's nothing more for us to do. Fucking hell world.

Absolutely wild

Machine learning is well-suited for diagnostics and treatment, there's already tools for this, there is no fucking reason to use a language model of all things. 12+ years of school, making 400k+ a year, but is too lazy to use UpToDate or any of the hundreds of other options. Rather than a glorified Markov chain. Walking past millions of hours of human study and knowledge to pick up a fuckin magic 8 ball.
