    having a giant ass search engine that is able to process patient data in context is incredibly useful.

    Yeah. Wouldn’t that be nice. That’s not what an LLM is, however.

      Why did you assume AI = only LLM? LLMs are just one type of AI, and not the type most often used in medicine

        Reid Hoffman is one of those lunatics who thinks LLMs are intelligent. His entire thing is peddling that shit.

        LLMs being “search engines” is also a really popular misconception.

          I didn’t know the guy, I was just addressing the general point of using AI in medicine tbh 🤷‍♀️

          You’re completely correct that LLMs are not search engines, of course

            So then I guess you shouldn’t have lead with:

            > but having a giant ass search engine

            Say what you mean and mean what you say or you’re just spouting shit that no one will listen to.
