I feel like in an ideal world, people can be using AI to help the quality of their work. Rather than being replaced by AI itself.
Who is downvoting progress in Cancer identification?
Lemmings with knee-jerk reactions to anything AI related
I was about to post a comment: Finally a use for AI that feels justified to spend energy on.
There was also a study going around claiming that llms caused cancer screenings by humans to decrease in accuracy. I’m not a scientist but I’m pretty sure the sample size was super small and localized in one hospital?
Anyway maybe they’re remembering that in addition to the automatic AI hating down votes.
Not that I’m a fan of AI being shoved everywhere but this isn’t that
But the title had “AI” in it.
A lot of people don’t realize that votes are public 🤓

Cancer causes autism
I thought the article was telling an unmarried woman that AI can find the cancer pathologists she’s been looking for. Not sure why they would be hiding.

From the article: " All 232 men in the study were assessed as healthy when their biopsies were examined by pathologists. After less than two-and-a-half years, half of the men in the study had developed aggressive prostate cancer…"
HALF? I’d suggest staying away from that study … either they don’t know what they’re doing, or some AI made up that article…
