ChatGPT is not ready to replace a human doctor:  I’m an ER doctor: Here’s what I found when I asked ChatGPT to diagnose my patients

My fear is that countless people are already using ChatGPT to medically diagnose themselves rather than see a physician. If my patient in this case had done that, ChatGPT’s response could have killed her.

This is likely why ChatGPT “passed” the case vignettes in the Medical Licensing Exam. Not because it’s “smart,” but because the classic cases in the exam have a deterministic answer that already exists in its database.

My experiment illustrated how the vast majority of any medical encounter is figuring out the correct patient narrative.

THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO.  Oregon, Washington among states with largest increases in homelessness in U.S.  Even the Oregonian reports it.  Governor Kotek wants to build more affordable housing.  But housing is not the entire problem.  Once you get the house, you gotta pay for upkeep, property taxes, utilities, etc.  It's like being gifted with an expensive car.  Where are the homeless going to find funds for maintenance and upkeep?   Even Ted Wheeler's ugly vision for Portland requires upkeep money.

POOR USE OF FUNDS.  With major Oregon hospitals hurting and not being able to find staffing, why does Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley want to draw $2.5 million in federal money to create a new small clinic in Cottage Grove?  If The Dalles can't find enough nurses for their maternity clinic, what are the chances that this new clinic will find them?  A waste of money.

HYPOCRISY.  Amazon's move to kill an emissions bill in Oregon shows that their Climate Change pledge is just talk.  It's all just to score points with the Left.

THEY HAVEN"T FIGURE OUT THE FUNDING GAME.  Oregon's higher education institutions charge are dependent on their high tuitions since they receive the lowest levels of state funding in the nation.  Well, more success universities crank out successful people who become wealthy, and they donate back to the school and fund many important programs.  Rather than overcharging current students (and parents), a more sustainable strategy is to target alums.  Each year you get new alums.  If they all donate generously, one will do well.  It's probably because few Oregon university alums become successful in the world.  They should ask themselves, why is that?

LOW-HANGING FRUIT.  One of the first professions to be eliminated from A.I. will be voice actors.  With A.I. you have a lot more flexibility with the voices anyway.  Sorry, actors.

Society is forcing us to believe things we know aren't true.  And how easily some people allow it.

This will be cool, especially when someone exploits a vulnerability and figures a way to bypass your consent to download something.
