    Image recognition AIs are already paying off, specifically in the medical technology industry. 90% of radiologists are gonna be out of a job within 5 years (just my personal bro take).

    The hyper fixation on LLM is silly, it’s just hyped up because it’s something that the average person can play with. But your take on LLMs I agree with. It’s just not the only, or even the actual dominant, AI out there.

      It’s not “paying off” as this isn’t implemented anywhere, thus not making money.

      I think you’re way off the mark and buying into the hype. That’s my opinion from an electronic medical record software analyst.

          I’m in cardiology - radiology is right across the hall. We’re both under ancillary services. Lab techs are not rad techs, and rad techs don’t read films. You don’t work in this field, do you?

          None of this is implemented so none of it is paying off.

          Also nobody thinks this will take their jobs, because it looks like Theranos to us, in that it’s very hyped in tech and ridiculous to those of us in the medical field.

            Sounds like your hospital is behind the times then. Mine has already been rolling out the tech and holding seminars on how folks don’t need to worry about losing their job. And, I suppose as an EMR analyst you’re fully aware that Epic is working on a natural language interface for querying SlicerDicer so even data analysts will have to go pound sand soon (not saying that’s good btw).

              Dude, I am an Epic analyst. We’re a 10 star organization (ie cutting edge adoption of features).

              I don’t know how to tell you how wrong you are. None of this is even remotely near production.

              Helping with SlicerDicer queries is not reading a film. This is a ridiculous comparison.

              Again, even language processing features are not remotely near production. It’s not even in any proof of concept environments.

                Idk what to tell ya. My hospital is already using it and it’s one of the biggest hospitals in the region. Maybe your hospital is more hat than cattle as they say around here. Guess you’re not as special as you thought you were
