    I have no problem with them using search engines. They can vet and choose answers from reliable sources. From an LLM, it’s anybody’s guess if anything it pulled up is correct, and a less experienced doctor could be misled into making a dangerous mistake.

      When was the last time you used them? They can provide sources for pretty much everything they say and that source usually also contains said thing too.

      But even if not, even back 2 years ago, it was already good because you had a second look, a different perspective. A medical professional can either know little about everything or much about next to nothing. It should be really obvious how such a tool can help, even if it can not reach expert level.

        “Don’t worry, when you ask it for sources it gives you some. Sometimes they are even real! And sometimes the real ones even say the thing they were supposed to have said from the AI!”

        Fucking lunacy.

      Riiiiiiiiiight, LLMs don’t cite sources and the portals written in the 90s for journals solve all of that.

      It’s so amazing to watch you all invent these crazy scenarios, where you’ve chosen the absolute lowest bar you can find. As if some layman who has no clue how to use this tool is working on some free Claude account because you read about one shitty doctor or lawyer fucking up. It’s honestly sad seeing these hoops to jump through.

      Professional tools, run by some of the most educated type a professionals in the planet minimize and reduce these risks by providing defaults and interfaces along with education.

      FFS they can (and will) kill you accidentally with far more simple shit that can’t be mostly mitigated away. But yeah, because LLMs can be used poorly by morons it’s worthless 🙄.

        Do you know what happens when doctors fuck up?

        Like, I don’t think this is the slam dunk reply that you think it is.
