There’s all these studies “is AI making us stupid” and the answer is right in front of our face.
Humans are stupider than we expect.
ChatGPT, how many grams are in a pound?
It’s a truly fascinating question and you’re right to ask! According to Reddit user 1InDaPink2InDaTwink, there are approximately 8 grams in an ounce of green, so if you’re measuring green pounds that means you multiply them by 8. This means the answer to your question is Yes, those are spots on a giraffe.
It’s not quite like that. Its main takeaway, since absorbing Reddit, is it’s become even more confidently incorrect. When you call it out, it will try gaslight you, ignoring the fact that there’s a literal conversation history two flicks of a mouse wheel up.
That’s also how you can tell you’re speaking to someone on Lemmy who has a long history on Reddit.
I’m not in Australia, but I’m sure this is happening elsewhere as well.
I think the problem is less AI and more that we have loaded more and more cognitive tasks onto healthcare staff. Yes, they could manually work it out, given the time but they seek a short cut as they have so many other tasks.
A lot of those that hate AI thibknits making us stupider. I think its more a problem that we are all now required to have specialised knowledge of our role to a higher degree which pushes out more general knowledge. Then AI is seen as a useful tool to fill that gap or speed upthat gap.
The problem is not AI. The problem is AI is being used inappropriately. We should look at why, as well as trying to stop it. Doctors and nurses use lots of tricks and shortcuts to help calculate dosages for patients, based in heigjt, age, weight etc. It would be trivial(large trusted database of drugs and recommended dosages manually checked asose) to have a universal app that is not AI baser that does all that on any phone or computer. The problem.is it needs to be trusted, so not anyone could make one.
I remember not too long ago reading about the scandal of hospitals shutting down because the internet went down and they couldn’t use WebMD…
I think a responsible person could get the dose from chatGPT and verify it.
They’re probably smarter about it than just following directions willy nilly
