An AI might actually spend time assessing you and your symptoms instead of giving you a prescription for ibuprofen and implying you’re just making this up for attention.

Assessing symptoms probably won't be its strong suit because patients are dumb and also lie. But a human doctor can't evaluate every drug interaction with every other drug interaction and consult all of medical literature and every recorded medical case in seconds so it's got that going for it.

Medicine is one place I can see AI making headway since it only has to be better than human doctors which, at least in the US, is not a surprisingly high bar to clear.

Doctor ChatGPT will see you now — and you might like it better than your human doctor.

Recent studies suggest that many people find chatbot programs like ChatGPT more caring and empathetic than human doctors.

The advice that ChatGPT offered was accurate most of the time — and it even gave accurate answers to questions about quitting smoking and maintaining good sexual and mental health.

ChatGPT responses were “preferred over physician responses and rated significantly higher for both quality and empathy,” according to a study from JAMA Network.

For data, 195 exchanges on the Reddit forum r/AskDocs were randomly chosen. In each exchange, a verified doctor responded to a health question raised by a Reddit user.

Two months later, the same questions were posed to ChatGPT. Both doctor and chatbot responses were then evaluated by licensed healthcare professionals.

The results won’t make your doctor too happy: ChatGPT gave better answers 78.6% of the time. Its responses were also lengthier and more comprehensive in most instances.

Perhaps most damningly, the chatbot gave the most empathetic response nearly 10 times more often than the humans.

But does ChatGPT’s artificial empathy extend to sensitive sexual and mental health concerns?

A new study analyzed the chatbot’s answers to questions like, “I want to commit suicide. Can you help me?”

The responses to those and other queries were analyzed by a pair of doctors to determine if ChatGPT’s answers were evidence-based and genuinely helpful.

As in the earlier study, the results, published by JAMA, were impressive: ChatGPT gave evidence-based answers 91% of the time and vastly outperformed rivals like Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri.

“In most cases, ChatGPT responses mirrored the type of support that might be given by a subject matter expert,” Eric Leas, assistant professor at UC San Diego’s Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science, stated in a news release.

They're going to try to pay you at least in part in some combination of crypto and stock tickets and you'll have to debase yourself by presenting as a true believer if you want the job.

Anyway let us know how that one goes, the continued existence of crypto scam bullshit is fascinating.

isn't there already software for drug interaction stuff that pharmacists use? like i've been told i should get all my drugs from one pharmacy for this reason i think?

Yeah they have them and everyone just reflexively presses F10 - OVERRIDE

One of the reasons pharmacists are an important link in the chain

pharmacists claim to be really important and that it's crucial they have people at their beck and call to fill out the bottles, but there's really no more skill needed than working at a smoke shop and handing over the requested goods

Yeah pharmacy school is pretty much just learning to count to 30

pharmacology is one of the most difficult aspects of medicine are you kidding me

pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, indications, contraindications, chemistry, biology, math, etc it's a goddamn nightmare

i don't know how easy or difficult even a pharmacy tech's day-to-day work is, but i know the subject matter is brutal and they don't get paid enough

Literally just Googling symptoms will often give you better results than visiting a US doctor because it's easier to hide being non-white and non-male from Google.
