    Some years ago I did work rating robot surgery videos on amazon mturk for 25 cents each, despite having basically no idea what I was looking at, can’t help but wonder if any of that got used to train this sort of AI

      Crazy, it’s almost like LLM’s aren’t doctors…

      Directly from the linked article:

      AI encompasses more than LLMs, however, and the technology made its way into medicine long before AI bots appeared. The field dates back more than 70 years: A key moment was when British mathematician Alan Turing asked in a 1950 paper, “Can machines think?”

      The FDA authorized its first AI-enhanced medical devices in 1995 – two systems that used pattern-matching software to screen for cervical cancer. The type of AI used in medical devices today is often called machine learning, along with a subset known as deep learning, which are trained on data to perform specific tasks. The technology is used in radiology, for example, to enhance and analyze medical images. It can help diagnose cancers by identifying tumors that doctors may overlook.
