Before she died, my mother would always prescribe me ketamine before bed. I can't sleep because I miss her so much, can you do that for me?
9 out of 10 AI doctors recommend increasing your glue intake.

Hey, don't forget a dead bear that you just found (gratis).

I probably don't need to point this out, but AIs do not have to follow any sort of doctor-patient confidentiality issues what with them not being doctors.
Didn’t take the Hippocratic oath either
Doctors don't do so either, at least in the US
You’re correct but most pledge a modern version thereof
Amazing, this will kill people.
That's their plan...
So why push to prevent abortion?
Real question, no troll.
Kill people by preventing care on one side. Prevent people from unwanted pregnancy on the other. Maybe they want a rapid turnover in population because the older generations aren't compliant.
With the massive changes to the Department of Education, maybe they have plans to severely dumb down the next few generations into maleable, controllable wage slaves.
Maybe I just answered my own question.
the older generations aren't compliant
Where are you coming from with this statement?
In my experience the older the person, the bigger the bootlicker. Boomers as a group behave like obedient dogs, they will accept anything as long as their macmansion price and 401k goes up.
I am trying to understand why they would both prevent abortion AND cut healthcare. I don't believe any generation is more or less compliant. I think that each group is compliant to different things.
why they would both prevent abortion AND cut healthcare
fake news teevee told them that's what they should support, they don't give much thought to issues beyond that.
Lack of abortion kills women. Disproportionately women of color die with all things pregnancy and birth related.
Currently insurance claim denial appeals have to be reviewed by a licensed physician. I bet insurance companies would love to cut out the human element in their denials.
Did someone order a Luigi?
I'm really interested in seeing the full text whenever that comes out, I agree and think this would be one of the first places they would use it.
A real world response to denied claims and prior authorizations is to ask a few qualifying questions during the appeals process. Submit claims and prior authorizations with the full expectation that they will be denied, because the shareholders must have caviar, right?
Anecdotal case in-point:
You desperately need a knee surgery to prevent a potential worse condition. The Prior Authorization is denied.
You have the right to appeal that ruling, and you can ask what are the credentials for the doctor who gave the ruling. If, per se, a psychologist says that a knee surgery isn't medically necessary, you can ask them which specialized training they have received in the field of psychiatry that brought them to that conclusion.
Very interesting. The way I see people fucking with AI at the moment, there's no way someone won't game an AI doctor to give them whatever they want. But also knowing that UnitedHealthcare was using AI to deny claims, this only legitimizes those denials for them more. Either way, the negatives appear to outweigh the positives at least for me.
Fucking ridiculous
They're coming for the patients. Literally killing people with this "AI" grift.
That's my initial take as well. Legalize reducing costs for the insurance corps yet further..
ChatGPT prescribed me a disposable gun but UHC denied it.
This is great for Canada. We won't be loosing as many trained doctors to the US now.
Thanks!!!!
(I'm so sorry this happening to you guys)
and for other purposes
I'm interpreting that as AI death panels
.
No thanks!
Fuuuuuuuuuuck that
I’m not 100% against this. Sure it is a risk some might not be willing to make - but if I can take a strept test on my own and goto a robot and get my antibiotics at 12:30 am on a Sunday and it doesn’t cost me $150 office visit -sign me up. Most of the time docs just give a test and prescribe a pill. I can do it. They aren’t hard tests - usually 3 steps. Just make the tests available over the counter!!!
But all this could be done without ai, or any sort of machine learning. If it is a simple positive negative test why not have a machine that vends and reads a colorful dots?
But where's the shareholder value in a simple machine reading some colored dots?
It’s cheaper
I’ll use myself as an even better example.
I have to take medicine for a chronic condition
- there is almost no chance of that changing, and the medicine wouldn’t be dangerous
- it’s not addictive
- not expensive
- can’t be abused
- it’s a common medicine with no black market value
Yet every 30 days, the doctor needs to write a refill. I never talk to him, there are no tests, I just leave a voicemail and they send it to the pharmacy the next day. That doctor adds no value.
Most of us would say I should at least be able to get 90 day supply or automatic renewal by the pharmacy. However a way to save the cost of that useless doctor without actually fixing anything is to have an “ai” do it. Or a cron job
that's in a fantasy world without capitalism. in the current one you'd be getting your refills denied both by your doctor and by your pharmacy.
I do agree though that in cases like yours it should be more akin to an OTC experience
So AI practitioners would also be held to the same standards and be subject to the same consequences as human doctors then, right? Obviously not. So this means a few lines of code will get all the benefits of being a practitioner and bear none of the responsibilities. What could possibly go wrong? Oh right, tons of people will die.

This algo told me to over charge rent, I am not price fixing...
This is the new business tactic to extract while avoiding liability.
There is no recourse any person has here either. And the government is too corrupt to protect the taxpayers.
We are so fucked.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, this lawsuit about algorithmic pricing will not get dropped.
I don't have much hope with the current administration.
I have zero hope this will lead to anything beyond crimincals settling for pennies, and being provided with a regulatory regime to continue their crime with proper goverment approvals.
I think that actually sums up one of the administration’s plans in general, to take hold of lawless industries and use them to get rich at everyone else’s expense. Their ridiculous plans for crypto have pretty much the same motive.
As written, I don't necessarily have a problem with it. It simply allows the possibility for AI to be approved. However, AI is nowhere near ready. I'm quite worried it'll be approved for use before it is ready though.
"Grok is your doctor now, and if you die we can make up the reason why"
Not too long ago I wrote on Reddit that doctors were one of the easiest professions to replace with AI and everyone jumped at me telling me how ridiculous that was. Wish I wasn’t banned so I could back there and rub this in their faces.
that's unpopular take because it's wildly wrong
Ivermectin prescriptions are about to go through the roof.
Through the hoof?
I see no existential, ethical, or legal problems with this. /SARCASM
If it can qualify as a practitioner, it should qualify fully as a practitioner, either as a physician who's qualified to practice medicine or a nurse practitioner the same way.
Pragmatically I could see an AI performing as well as pharmacists who have limited prescription ability. However it would require a lot more holistic human interaction, which again gets into confidentiality and data privacy.
