  I think it depends on what you’re trying to prevent. Flu vaccines have to adapt to rapidly evolving new strains every year, but you would still be immune to the specific strain in the vaccine for a long period.

  “I feel like this is the self driving car thing again.

  How often are human doctors wrong in their diagnoses?

  How often are LLM doctors wrong in their diagnoses?

  I’m pretty sure the former is close to 75%, and the latter substantially less. I’ve heard of so many people go to doctor after doctor and not get the right diagonsis or treatment for whatever they have going on, and it takes 5+ to find the one who figures it out and gets them treated.”

  This you?

  Such a genuinely good reductio, I’m stealing this!

  I suppose in most clinical trials you would want to be in the placebo group, no?

  I like AI. But I’m not sure I like the way we use it if it’s only to meet shareholders’ expectations or to be a tool for greedy people. What is your opinion concerning the way we seem to use AI in academic research?
