The extra long dash thing

Oh yeah, what's up with that? It's never a normal "-" it's a character I don't even know how to recreate off of the top of my head, like something you have to pick out of the character map manually.

AI definitely does not have a place in medicine, because it ruins critical thinking which is really important for medicine. There are too many midwits in medicine as it is and AI makes them even worse at their job. It can be used, but only if you're not a midwit to start with and use it quite literally like a search engine.

Excessive use of emojis is another one, OP.

"AI" is going to make everyone retarded in the same way nobody can spell without an automatic spellchecker anymore. Convenience kills and the only thing it's going to contribute to is brain atrophy.

>>103744
Most doctors are already just middlemen (aka useless parasites) between patients and google/chatGPT. The 1% of doctors that actually use their brains are the exception and not the rule. Hopefully AI fully replaces all of them

>>103744
I'll clarify, I only meant circumstantially where it's proven itself like with visual imaging (supposedly AI was able to catch the formation of cancer much better than the tool-assisted naked eye-but maybe that was a fluke too). Using it as a search engine has proven to be a dubious decision even in a civilian context.

Where LLMs are better than humans and search engines:
• memorization and breadth of knowledge
• speed at providing results
• emulating speech styles, e.g. formal corporate/resume writing

Where LLMs suck
• no deductive reasoning, hence frequent incorrect conclusions and "hallucinations"
• no numerical precision and formal computations
• non-local models are censored and politically correct
• non-local models limit you on how much of your input it can memorize in a conversation and the length of conversations ("token" limits)
• non-local models do not memorize your previous conversations beyond ChatGPT's limited "memory" feature
• it almost always tells you what you want to hear based on how you phrase the question (barring hitting any censors)
• its training/knowledge is only from written text (again much of which is politically correct, and just plain bullshit), not observable real life experience

You need more than just an LLM for "AI" to replace human doctors.

>nobody can spell without an automatic spellchecker anymore
English is a bullshit language that we're stuck with thanks to the British Empire. A superior language would be phonetic. Nobody ever needs a dictionary or spellchecker when they write in German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, Greek and so on.

Heh

almost like ceremonies, oaths, vows, manners, costumes and suits are completely meaningless waste of everyone's time in le postmodern atomized secular economic-commodificatoor monosoyciety

jk, pleb biomass still needs their nursery rhymes, riddles, adages, proverbs and other midwit platitudes and totem poles based on some sort of forced status quo to guide them down the increasingly grotesque insanity

>>104303
Exactly what I was thinking. Why are broken roasties and normgroids larping with vows and ceremonies?

>>104303
I would wager a good 90% of people don't deserve to be referred to as sentient. That's probably a lowball, honestly.

Everything is learned by comparison.There are not many intelligent non-human beings on this planet.
Not all people are clever, but this is not required for reproduction; the same pigeons do not have intellect, but they reproduce successfully and in abundance.
sometimes I even think, if primitive life forms reproduce so successfully, maybe the intelligence of humanity is an anomaly? And the degradation of humanity is underway to remove this anomaly.

>> intelligent non-human beings
Should I use a term "sentient non-human beings"? Is it more precise?

That reminds me of a scene from Trailer Park Boys when Ricky is in someone's office for an interview or something and he picks up various objects to say, "Well, I'm at least smarter than this". When he picks up a calculator he says that it's probably smarter than him.

People say the Bharatian Vedic tradition has a guide for counting large numbers quickly in your mind. But if you, like me, are not an accountant, this is of little use, especially since there is a calculator in every phone.
