Has been a while since AI were introduced into the daily basis of the users around all the internet. When it firstly came I was curious yeah like everyone and tried some prompts to see “what this thing can do”, then, I never, ever, used AI again, because I really never saw it like something necesary, we had automatic systems already, so, the time keep moving to me until this day, when I realized something: how people is dependent of this shit. I mean, REALLY is dependent, and then they go like “I only used it for school 😢” like, are you serious dude? Do you leave your future to an algorithm? Coming back with my question, years have passed, I do think we all have an opinion more developed about AI, what do you think? Fuck it and use it anyways? If that is the case, why blame companys to make more accessible it’s use? Like microsoft putting copilot even in notepad. “Microsoft just wants to compile your data.” Isn’t LLM about that? Why blame them if you are going to use the same problem with different flavor? Not defending Microsoft here, I’m only using it like an example, change it for the company of your own preference.
Like every new technology that is hailed as changing everything it is settling into a small handful of niches.
I use a service called Consensus which will unearth relevant academic papers to a specific clinical question, in the past this could be incredibly time consuming.
I also sometimes use a service called Heidi that uses voice recognition to document patient encounters, its quite good for a specific type of visit that suits a rigid template but 90% of my consults i have no idea why they are coming in and for those i find it not much better than writing notes myself.
Obviously for creative work it is near useless.
