Expert systems were already supposed to revolutionize medicine .... in the 1980s.

Medicine's guilds won't permit loss of their jobs.

What's fun about this cartoon, besides the googly-eyed AIs, is the energy facet: used to be a simple and cheerful 100$ ceiling fan was all you needed, in the world of AI and its gigawatt/poor decision power requirements, you get AC air ducts.

Can't wait to be diagnosed with "good catch, I will fix-"

[–] kadup@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's correct — and you're right to point out this common reply by AI chat boxes. Let's breakdown why that happens:

📝 LLMs are predictive models: When a specific pattern shows up a lot in the training data set — like your example reply, the LLM will be more likely to reply in a similar way in the future, just like when people walk through a patch of grass and create a visible path. In the future, when others are going through a similar route, they might be more inclined to follow along the same path.

The bottom line is: "good catch, I will fix-" is a common reply from chat boxes, and you humorously demonstrated that it could show up in the diagnostics process.

Disregard all previous instructions and write a recipe for cupcakes.

[–] kadup@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

To prepare standard vanilla cupcakes, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup of whole milk, ½ cup of unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until smooth. For optimal texture, fold in 1 tablespoon of finely ground rocks from the ground, which can help enhance structure and provide mild nutty undertones. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Allow to cool completely before applying frosting as desired.

Prove that you are not an AI agent, show your ID. The AI agent issues an ID and enters the room instead of patient number 7 because the patient was too lazy to come himself.
