Yeah, it will take away all of our jobs.
Oi! Save some quotation marks for the rest of us, will ya?

UK version: instead of waiting for hours in hospital with a hurty hand
The last three times myself or a family member have been to the emergency room in the US it’s taken hours to be seen. And we have enormous medical bills and insurance premiums on top of that.
Xrays cost like nothing, >$100,000 is a bit extreme
we live in a society.
Lol, I’m from a country with healthcare so I just go to the doctor and my X-ray is free. Parking is also redeemable because of my job!
So uh… something weird happened… I asked it to take an xray of my hand and it… returned this image…

Which is clearly wrong. It must be the reason why everyone says it generates low quality slop… right? Haha… ha…
HI MONGO!
That doesn’t look like anything to me
User name does not check out.
Guys… I think this might be a Velociraptor’s account.
Don’t be ridiculous, everybody knows
weer… velociraptors went extinct 65 million years ago.Nervous human-ish noises
Clever girl
Had me worried until you made those nervous human noises. Really don’t know why I was concerned.
Nervous human noises are the most calming and reassuring noises!
if he is to be trusted, then he’s probably a lizard-man -> lizard-people are real -> zuck is a lizard-man confirmed
Wait a minute… are you a velociraptor!!!
Preposterous! Of course I’m not! It says it in my username: AbsolutelyNOTaVelociraptor
Hello fellow human! I too enjoy the dexterity of opposable thumbs!
Hmmm… That does sound like something a human would say, but the hairs on my neck are standing up. Maybe a thunderstorm is coming?
Yer a lizard Harry!
Yer a hairy lizard!
Tobias?

ChatGPT knows when it’s being asked to identify a hotdog and doesn’t get paid for that business
Ok, if anyone actually breaks their hand, take a picture and do this, cause it would be pretty funny if they make an X-ray that actually looks busted.
I broke a finger a bit over a year ago and it ended up swolen and purple for about a day. It was a reddish pink and only slightly swollen the following couple of days
I have an old xray from when I splintered my ulna (forarm). I’m torn, a part of me wants to see what happens, but a bigger part of me wants to never upload anything medical related to these platforms
Claude helped me walk me through finding & installing the 3D-Slicer software on my Linux workstation, and a crash course in how to use it to find various interesting bits of my internal anatomy, which was great fun for playing with the CT-scan data I came home with after abdominal surgery.
It was also pretty helpful at turning medicalese jargon - in the various medical test and report files I accumulated between admission in ER and discharge a few days later - into understandable English. Which was actually pretty cool and reduced my stress levels markedly (that and the opiate pump.)
Asking an AI to diagnose you from a photo is obviously idiotic. It doesn’t mean they’re useless though; it just means that evidently AI won’t cure stupid.
I think it probably would identify a break when you provide the x ray to it.
What I want to see is if you take a normal picture of a broken arm or hand or finger or whatever and ask it for an x ray, if it’s fake x-ray image it gives you will show a broken bone.
How about split the difference and give it a picture of a hand with a finger bent at an impossible angle and obviously broken? /s, of course
Ooh, yeah when the models go full hallucination mode I reckon it’s possible!
Not exactly programmer but… The stupidity of some people is impressive.
I mean this is gotta be obvious bait.
Blue check mark means the user already drank the kool-aid. No reason to assume they wouldn’t go back for a refill.
It’s just as likely its an engagement farming account, maybe even a bot.
Tell me there’s a difference
(Excepting the existential realization that the stupider a person is, the more easily they’re used as a tool, of course, and keeping them in line and on track is often simpler than tech solutions.)
Nowadays it’s hard to be sure. Considering the average American’s education and who they voted for…twice… Why shan’t I believe weird “news” like this…
Poe’s Law in action.
Sadly yes…pretty much :)
I’ve talked to a real live Midwesterner that thought other countries didn’t exist (as far as I could tell)
Most people don’t know that. Until they probably reach Kindergarten :)
How would that even work? Did they think the US gov was making up the existence of other countries as some sort of conspiracy?
Sorry you had to endure that. 🤢
I’m guessing Ohio?
I hope this is satire 👀
Unfortunately a lot of satire turns to reality these days. The Onion has a lot of work keeping ahead of the craziness.
It’s actually quite terrifying that we cannot say it’s 100% satire.
An instance of Poe’s law.
And in full disclosure, I had actually forgotten the name of that and had to look it up, which from an outside perspective might also look like an instance of it.
I always get that and Cunningham’s mixed up. But the good news is it always looks like an intentional use of Cunningham’s Law if I do.
I always assume the person with the Super Mario World cartoon series avatar is joking in any situation. It saves a lot of stress.
Jokes aside, as much as I hate AI slop this could actually be a freaking awesome use for pattern recognition that might actually improve healthcare.
But, I’m a US American so for us it costs a stupid amount of money to GET the X-Ray after waiting for an appointment, and then you play one-way phone tag waiting another month(s) for the analysis of the x-ray.
(Bonus points if you wait 6 months and pay $150-whatever for “I dunno looks fine to me.”)
I dunno in a functioning society with a decent doctor:patient ratio (is there such a thing?) maybe this wouldn’t be necessary, but over here for most things we’re practically on our own anyway so the more DIY options the better.
Shout-out to urgent cares though. If you actually broke something they usually get you scanned and remedied pretty fast. I had a thoroughly good ouch-I-think-my-toe-broke (it did) experience with urgent care.

Yeah AI (not necessarily LLMs though) have been used to great effect for medical uses like that. It’s a shame how most of the good work coming out of the AI/ML field gets overshadowed by LLMs
Global problem probably.
Here in Eastern Europe if you have the money you go to private clinics and for the most part you will get the care you need but even in paid ones the good doctors have pretty long wait times. And you’re paying ~100 eur for 1 consultation.
What country? I got a lung xray the same week I was admitted into the hospital and it was all in a public and free hospital.
In Romania at least I’ve never had to wait for an x-ray or the like on the public system; the health system has a lot of problems but that’s not one of them.
The hospital buildings might look like they’ve just been demilitarised, the ward won’t have AC, it’ll be 50c, and you’ll be sharing it with a drug addict who spends all night pacing up and down the ward smoking cigarettes - but you’ll wait less time for (and they won’t hesitate to call for) an X-Ray or MRI or whatever than you would in the UK on the NHS.
Wow I did the same 2 days ago and it’s incredible how my hand xray is identical (not similar) to the one of the guy who posted this!1!
Won’t post post mine for privacy reasons
Glad you found your bone brother
From my experience a doctor isn’t any better.
Name checks out.
The name was a reference to the lettuce thing. I’ve had doctors ignore crucial details. I do have some medical training, just enough to help until someone better arrives. Last time I was a hospital, me needing a cpap machine was ignored and I had to tell the, what assumed, nurse in training how to set up my IV… after they fucked it up 4 times.
