"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Why the tuck would anyone think a parrot knows about human medicine?
Because most don't understand it's a parrot. So much money has been spent saying it's "intelligent".
Remember, its glue that makes pizza so tasty.
Who would have thonk!
(Not the electronic parrot or the people relying in the slop machine.)
Only Luddites think that AI chatbots can fail medical misinformation test, and return inaccurate and fabricated advice (say the idiots every day on tech forums).
They presented five generative AI chatbots—Gemini (2.0, Google; version available December 2024), DeepSeek (V3, High-Flyer; version available December 2024), Meta AI (Llama 3.3, Meta; version available December 2024), ChatGPT (3.5, OpenAI; version available November 2022) and Grok (2, xAI; version available August 2024)—with a series of closed- and open-ended prompts across five misinformation-prone categories.
Couldn't the researchers at least bother to use the latest models?
The study was done in Feb 2025 and they probably wrote the research proposal months before then, waited for approval / funding, etc. I don't know the process of how academia works but I imagine it to be very slow and bureaucratic.
Well they didn't even use the latest models in Feb 2025. They should've used DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI o3-mini which use additional test time compute to arrive at better answers. They used GPT 3.5 which was about 2½ years old at the time.
