I mean, sure. I know people who have used ChatGTP to write their discharges. It’ll definitely be tried as a crutch by the lazy in the short term, but I think it’ll end up being used as a actual tool in the long term (not just in medicine, but in a wide variety of fields). However, I also think that’s an entirely different discussion than the one this article presents. I think the conversation of how AI can be used as a tool to assist existing and future professionals is an entirely different conversation than wether or not AI is going to replace any given profession. I also think it’s a wildly more productive conversation because I don’t believe there are many professions that can be completely phased out by AI.
I also think that the point you raised about codes is another entirely different discussion that could be had about the pitfalls of modern day medicine. I’m actually going to argue hard in favor of the doctors who told you to “choose whatever code is most appropriate” because in my experience and opinion, knowing specific billing codes is wildly outside the scope of knowledge needed and expected for a doctor. Their job should be first and foremost to treat their patients. Navigating the unnecessarily complicated and red tape filled maze that is billing and insurance codes is not only an unrelated skill set, but also a necessity brought out of a flawed and predatory system built by those who seek to profit at the cost of healthcare (i.e. insurance companies) rather than those who seek to make a living by providing healthcare.
I mostly agree with you on the first paragraph. Though I would say that I am not so sure they won’t try to phase out plenty of professionals. All of these companies are freaking the fuck out and trying to just rush shit out at rates that are beyond problematic. All the VC’s and major tech companies are chasing the dragon of money and ignoring all the real issues that comes with normies thinking that shit is magic and accurate. Though I am also blaming the for-profit media of all types that are all about hyper-attention grabbing titles. Which does fill the gaps of normies thinking things are much further along than they are. So even if the devs make a point to say that things are not even fully in betas, we are seeing shit being pushed out like it is full release. We already saw how fast internet folks were able to turn old chatbots into outright Nazi sympathizers. There are already well equipped blackhats out there that are trying to take some of these models and remove protections. Though it is very fun to see the ways that how the more prankster folks are bypassing some things with just wording shit differently.
I also agree that I want the healthcare system and insurance needs to be burned down and just moved to tax funded with lives being more important than any money. But the codes I was speaking of wasn’t billing codes. They are actual medical diagnostic codes. So it does kind of matter that things be correct in that element. As it implies that their diagnoses for patients are not based on knowing specifics. One wrong code could change what is being looked for and could be bad in wasting time. Though I will stress that it is likely to not matter for most common tests. So I yield to that in those situations.
Overall I do want to again say that I think we may agree more than my initial reply might sound (or even this one). I just think that we can’t keep the constant hype-trains running so hard all the time as if things are going to work. We are being charged more for less finished products. And we are seeing the beginnings of mass reductions in workforces as the corpo leaders just think that we aren’t needed anymore. But that could work in favor of a worker’s revolution if leftists really start going hard for catching those impacted before they fall into reactionary hands and fascism takes over again. But I don’t wish for so many to suffer more than they have already.
