AI is stealing writers’ words and jobs…

lol

I have to wonder if that ad gets any kind of pushback or if kids actually think they will have jobs getting AI to build their apps for them.

I mean its a nihilistic and short sighted view, but yeah that pretty much sums up how the world is being ran. "oh you are worried about your kids kids? Nah thats not my problem."

On Gizmodo this morning:

Nvidia announced a collaboration with Hippocratic AI on Monday, a healthcare company that offers generative AI nurses who work for just $9 an hour. Hippocratic promotes how it can undercut real human nurses, who can cost $90 an hour, with its cheap AI agents that offer medical advice to patients over video calls in real-time.

“Voice-based digital agents powered by generative AI can usher in an age of abundance in healthcare, but only if the technology responds to patients as a human would,” said Kimberly Powell, vice president of Healthcare at NVIDIA in a press release Monday.

Nvidia is powering Hippocratic’s real-time responses over video calls. In a demo posted by Nvidia, a semi-human-looking AI agent named Rachel verbally instructs a patient on how to take penicillin. The agent then tells the patient it will report back all this information to her real human doctor. Rachel is one of many AI nurses that healthcare providers can choose from, according to one of Hippocratic’s product pages. The AI nurses range in specialties from “Colonoscopy Screening” to “Breast Cancer Care Manager,” all for less than minimum wage.

Hippocratic directly promotes how it can undercut the living wages of real nurses as a feature, not a bug. One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.

Nursing has traditionally been one of the best-paying professions that doesn't require years of post-graduate work and is traditionally popular with people from poorer communities and immigrant communities as a way to lift whole families out of poverty and on the track to the middle class.

As always, this is going after the most repetitive aspects of a job and automating them. And while I certainly wouldn't want a chatbot trying to guess from context what the next word was in my healthcare instructions, they're just going to get better.

And AI companies will be coming for all the repetitive stuff in all of our jobs -- and we've all got those -- as soon as it makes financial sense for the bosses to do so.

Yikes. I'm sure that will work real damn well for the patients with dementia, or just 'old age'.

I took care of my wifes grandmother for years. No AI is going to do that without killing people.

Should check with an AI on if that is good for your mental health.
