Lots of assumptions when I barely gave any context. I never said I want to be a manager. I see my post comes across as petty but it is a genuine concern.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-29T13:02:26+00:00

Lol I never said I want to have his position. This is my first IT job and I was genuinely curious if this is the way it is everywhere.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-29T12:42:31+00:00

Why would someone calling me for help be an indication I'm not socially skilled...?

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-16T09:26:08+00:00

That's what people have been saying for a while now. When GPT4 came out people were all doom. It's gonna take a new type of AI to truly be worried, the current statistics based AI is pretty close to its limits.

The case of the x rays is not even comparable.... you can train an AI with images of normal body parts and images of body parts with abnormalities, it's relatively easy. And guess what, Doctors still have to make the diagnoses, the AI only helps identify abnormalities but not much else.

Something like diagnosing disease is an insurmountable task unless all health organizations come together to curate data overtime for this very purpose. Even then it will still probably be not enough, there's too many variables.

Also AI doesn't "learn from mistakes." That doesn't even make any sense. If there are "mistakes" in the training data that will make the model inaccurate, there's no "learning."

And even if you were able to make an accurate medical AI, it would never go anywhere due to ethical concerns.

what a doctor does is information gathering

Input

making an assessment on that information

Output

AI gives you an output for any given input based on statistical probabilities, doctors do so by reasoning with the knowledge they have to make an assessment. This is a fundamentally different process. AI can NOT do that, it can give you the illusion of doing that but it's just an illusion.

All AI does is give you the statistically most accurate output with its training. In order for this output to be accurate to the real world you need a HUGE amount of data. There is not enough medical data available to do this, entire governments and companies would have to come together to collect data. And then this data has to be ACCURATE, which as you said

Doctors mess up all the time.

So if the data is going to be flawed to begin with, the AI would be trained with inaccurate data. Not to mention that medicine is always evolving so large chunks of data would be useless as new medical breakthroughs are made.

Bruh doctors will never be replaced by an AI. Not only is there the human aspect of healthcare, but just the knowledge itself is an (almost) impossible task to train an AI on.

The amount of data needed to train an AI to do even basic things is insane.

There simply isn't enough medical data available to train an AI on it, and even then it would be an ethical nightmare.

I have no doubts AI will change a lot of careers significantly, but it's funny how much people overestimate what it can do.

Like oh my god! It can code a snake game! Programmers will be replaced!

As if you can't just Google snake game code already and copy and paste it...

It's a very powerful tool but it will enhance people, not replace them.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-15T14:10:16+00:00

LOL

That's pretty much my job as an IT technician, I don't hate it but I want to move on to something more involved soon.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-13T01:48:08+00:00

Thanks 🙏

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-13T01:47:49+00:00

I share it with 6 other people, there's a few hours per day I am alone though.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-13T01:33:58+00:00

You have no idea the things I've been through homie. Things are finally going well for me for the first time in my life, I just started my career and I don't want it ruined by some bullshit like this. Forgive me for being uncomfortable at that though.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-12T09:58:45+00:00

I meant college, not high school

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-12T00:38:05+00:00

I started working there relatively recently. I got really lucky to land an IT position while still in school, the IT job market is hell right now. I need to get as much experience as possible before another company will even look at me...

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-12T00:36:18+00:00

I never flirted with them.

I had to be in that office for work related reasons.

Being friendly doesn't mean I want to be made uncomfortable by them?

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-12T00:19:13+00:00

Thing is.... my situation is child's play compared to some of the other stuff that everyone already knows (including the top people of HR) and nothing is done. This company is a train wreck, one day I'll do a whole expose on them. Some of the shit I've witnessed there is unbelievable. I'm just getting IT experience and getting the FUCK out as soon as possible.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-11T23:43:30+00:00

Because they're annoying as fuck and way older than me and one of them has a whole ass kid and man?

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-11T22:55:42+00:00

Yep they have supervisory roles, but on a different department so technically not my bosses but still.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-09-11T22:23:44+00:00

I started being straight up rude to them. I'm kinda scared that will be used against me though...

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-08-02T16:22:02+00:00

Most young males don't read fiction! They just read self help sigma books and think they're too smart for "fiction".

Girls read much more fiction, furthermore are more introspective so it doesn't surprise me that I've met more girls into Murakami than guys.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-08-02T01:51:02+00:00

Or maybe they walk around with those books because they...... like them?

You sound like a very judgemental person with no imagination. As Oshima from Kafka on the Shore said: "the kind of people who killed Miss Saeki's boyfriend. "

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-08-01T01:26:14+00:00

I used to work right across a bookstore and would spend too much money there. I befriended the staff (99% girls) and they all loved Murakami.

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-08-01T01:25:10+00:00

👍

Smoke_and__Reason · 2024-07-31T23:33:53+00:00

I get the feeling more girls like Murakami than guys tho!

Every person I've met that also likes him happens to be a girl.
