    If you see a note saying “This was confirmed to be correct by our well-trained human fact checkers” and one saying “[Gemini] can make mistakes. Check important info.”, you are more likely to believe the first than the second. The solution here is to look at actual articles with credited authors, not to have an army of people reviewing every single medical query.

      I’m still not seeing a safe or even meaningful use case for the treat printers here, especially not for the additional electricity and waste carbon costs. Were medical data queries impossible before LLMs? No, they were not.

      • LLM usage here doesn’t help, that’s true. But medical queries weren’t good before LLM’s either, just because it’s an incredibly complex field with many edge cases. There is a reason self diagnosis is dangerous and it isn’t because of technology.technology.

          Yes, I’m glad we can agree on that.

          The rest of what you were saying seems kind of like a pointless derail because you were defending something that’s already indefensibly bad for its supposed use case here.
