"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.

And: Doctors Catch Cancer-Diagnosing AI Extracting Patients’ Race Data and Being Racist With It
Nice find. Yes, it's notoriously difficult to avoid that with machine learning in the first place. It's designed to reproduce bias and stereotypes from the training data. It will find patterns, no matter whether they contribute towards the goal of the application. And I heard extrapolating beyond what's in the training data doesn't really work that well. I mean a doctor has context, can use their reasoning skills to come up with conclusions. And some medical imaging software will more or less leave the boundaries of what it can comfortably find predictions for, so it might do unpredictable things.
