Yeah sure, I believe this. Especially when Google or Apple speech to text is so perfect and accurate.

“What could possibly go wrong? “

Yes, the prospect of this is terrifying given the state of politics today!
My wife had a visit with a potential new Neurosurgeon for her back yesterday at a well-known Medical Care System here in the SF Bay Area. After filling out the obligatory paperwork (which is mostly bull$hit, but routine), and after seeing the nurse, she was left in the exam room with a computer screen and told to answer the questions it posed. After seeing the first couple ( which dealt with “issues like do you ever consider suicide?” I told her to stop and answer nothing else. This kind of $hit is the “camel’s nose under your privacy tent,” what with today’s medical record keeping and never knowing if your identity is decoupled from the questions. This stuff can come back and bite you, particularly when you are on Medicare. In these respects, medicine is a disgrace today. You are treated as a statistic and rated on what your continued existence costs society.

2018 in Review: 10 AI Failures

IBM Watson comes up short in healthcare

“This product is a piece of shit” wrote a doctor at Florida’s Jupiter Hospital regarding IBM’s flagship AI program Watson, according to internal documents obtained by Stat. Originally a question-answering machine, IBM has been exploring Watson’s AI capabilities across a broad range of applications and processes, including healthcare. In 2013 IBM developed Watson’s first commercial application for cancer treatment recommendation, and the company has secured a number of key partnerships with hospitals and research centers over the past five years. But Watson AI Health has not impressed doctors. Some complained it gave wrong recommendations on cancer treatments that could cause severe and even fatal consequences.

After spending years on the project without significant advancements, IBM is reportedly downsizing Watson Health and laying off more than half the division’s staff.

Oh, here we go. Neither Orwell nor Huxley were able to imagine a small fraction of the tyranny that awaits.

That is some scary crap right there. It’s bad enough that healthcare has been taken over by ruthless bureaucrats. Now let’s give them AI-based programs to decide your fate. Thanks, Obama, you flaming demoniac.
