How is "helping the medical field" not compatible with better healthcare quality? If the end user isn't experiencing benefits, then how can you claim that benefits have been provided? Who is getting these "benefits" if it's not the end user? If someone IS getting benefits, yet the end users still haven't gotten a better experience... Then can you agree that AI is only helping intermediaries? Like... The corporations who provide the garbage experience?
Do you see your logical fallacy here?
If your loved one is diagnosed with cancer early that would have been missed by a human, that's a fucking benefit, is it not?
I'm sick of luddites.
But is that happening? Have we seen better diagnoses? Can you reference a study showing that we are actually catching more cancer?
Or are you just feeding into the bullshit of "AI IS CHANGING EVERYTHING" because that's what they tell you?
I'm sick of people like you claiming benefits from a technology that is literally raping us all. Our checkbooks, our jobs, our environments, our freedoms, our communities. "But but someone told me it's helping" fuck off prove it.
You're sick of luddites? I'm sick of being lied to, and sick of saps like you spreading the lies.
