  • That article is from May 2025, almost a full year ago. In AI terms that’s the stone age.

    One of the major problems of getting information about AI inside an anti-AI bubble is that nobody here is actually using it, so they don’t know what its actual quality and capabilities are like now. As I said, I actually set up a system like this for myself on my own personal computer and I keep it updated as new models come out, so I’ve seen what the state of the art (or near-state-of-the-art at any rate) is actually like.

    Nothing is perfect, of course. But perfection is not the standard this system is to be compared against. The alternative is the doctor’s handwritten notes and personal memories. Those are almost certainly not as good.



  • You’re asking a forum that’s in a strongly anti-AI bubble, so the answer you’re going to get is both obvious and useless. You might as well be asking a bunch of Vegans whether you should have steak for dinner. You admit yourself to having a strong knee-jerk reaction.

    However, it looks to me like their use of AI is a perfectly reasonable one. It’s just making transcripts and summaries of sessions. I do that all the time with personal logs and meetings, I’ve got a couple of local models that run entirely on my computer. So I don’t see the big deal here.

    If you feel you really need this medical help then maybe don’t rely on the advice of a bunch of people you know are going to instantly react negatively to AI regardless of any other details.
