While those particular instances may have been addressed, they’re just the tip of the iceberg. There’s certainly less egregious examples out there, unreported, as well as future similarly dangerous incidents to come. And more data isn’t necessarily the solution. There’s such a mass of legal...

I want to revisit and highlight this. What you’re describing ISN’T medical advice, it’s factual/historical info. That stuff is freely available on numerous websites, including Wikipedia. That info not what we’re discussing prohibiting general use AIs from dispensing. We’re talking about...

It’s like Medical Student Syndrome. It’s been depicted in fiction, but it’s real. If you’re unaware, it’s the common but not universal phenomenon describing something that happens as students begin their medical training. The more they study, the more they notice heretofore unrecognized...

A perceived need is typically the basis for initiating the law drafting process. Usually- but not always- that need is factually based. Everything else follows after. Optics are always an issue, certainly, but they’re lower priority than whether a law will achieve the desired goal. “We...

Those are doctors evaluating the responses the AIs are giving, not Joe Public. There’s a chasm of difference in expertise & experience between the two groups. I was admitted to the Texas Bar in 1994, and every month, I get the Bar Journal, which devotes a section reporting on who got...

Saw that a few hours ago. YIKES! Definitely plays into some of my stronger fears.

The problem is, people ARE trusting general purpose LLMs to make diagnoses or suggest dangerous self-help actions. We’ve seen that with the glue on pizza and taste-testing of mushrooms incidents. Those got caught, which is why we know about them. But like the aforementioned site that tracks...

David Kaff/Kaffinetti has died. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/iconic-80s-rocker-dead-79-035816258.html

That may or may not explain why I got fat.

There’s a reason why diagnostic programs are still significantly less accurate than living MDs.

This is my general viewpoint, because facts don’t care about feelings. Mary Mallon was insulted by and thus refused refused to abide by doctors’ orders and those of NY public health services. As a one-woman disease vector, she earned the nickname “Typhoid Mary” and a one-way trip into...

There are at least 50 afflictions humans suffer that can cause “flu-like symptoms”, which vary greatly in rarity. Some have subvarieties with different severities. Some are viral. Some are bacterial. Some are parasitic. Some are fungal. Some are immune diseases. Some are syndromes. Some...

Given enough time, any discussion of legal frameworks on an international board WILL feature examples from different countries. I know I’ve seen citations of regulations from Canada, England, New Zealand, France and others right here on ENWorld.🤷🏾‍♂️

OK, so you don’t mean what you said literally, but metaphorically. 👍🏽 Here’s the thing, though: nearly every safety law, public health measure, OSHA regulation, professional conduct standard, or licensing requirement gets some kind of pushback. Some frame it as an insult to their intellect and...

(Emphasis mine.) You don’t do that. You do NOT insult the populace when drafting laws. You simply legislate that LLMs cannot dispense medical or legal information beyond recommendations to seek professional guidance. Companies or individuals releasing AIs that do so get held liable-...

Along with other factors, customizability is always dependent on the medium. It was less about the attractiveness of the first sculpture- though that is always noted- because Guillame’s version is still clearly a beautiful male figure. But he also more clearly emphasized that this wasn’t just...

Well, having been on both sides of this situation, I’d say yes and no. They’re expressing someone else’s idea, but unless doing it in someone else’s style is part of the commission, they’re probably doing it in their unique manner. And art history is full of commissioned work that was...

I don’t think so. I suspect that what’s happening in those cases is that the judge- having caught the attorneys using bogus AI cases- gives a verbal reprimand (and possibly a contempt citation) and allows them to rectify their pleadings without referring them to the bar association for further...

Quoting the article: A couple hundred cases “since the spring”, and an educated guess that most don’t get reported. Wrist slaps for AIBS need to turn into suspensions, IMHO, ASAP.

That’s one way of doing things. I chose another path…
