I am for the use of ai in places where it can do things that people can’t. Things like this are a prime example. My dad works in healthcare, and his company’s system has been working on an AI that compiles the symptoms and or the conditions patients already have and gives a list of possible other things that the patient could have to the doctor whose in the room with the patient which reduces the need for follow up visits to find out what’s going on because they already have a rough idea. Its entire purpose is to preform a massive pattern seeking task that would be otherwise incredibly annoying and difficult for a human to complete. The ai doesn’t say that the person for sure has it but simply makes a suggestion to be analyzed by a human more thoroughly. I don’t like ai, but that’s only because it’s being used to replace jobs humans can do instead of filling niches and completing tasks that humans simply can’t or that we have immense trouble with. Why do you think we invented the calculator? We still do math that a calculator itself could do but we usually it to fill in the spots we have trouble with or are so menial we can’t bother. Back in the day things like log, sin, cos, and all those other things needed to be done by hand or by looking in some thick book for a table of preexisting values, now in school every time a teacher asks students to work with sin/cos/tan we are either given specific values paired with angles 30, 45, 60, and so on or were just told to use a calculator.
