Only people can do jobs, period.
Three things explain this. First, while models beat humans on benchmarks, the standardized tests designed to measure AI performance, they struggle to replicate this performance in hospital conditions. Most tools can only diagnose abnormalities that are common in training data, and models often don’t work as well outside of their test conditions. Second, attempts to give models more tasks have run into legal hurdles: regulators and medical insurers so far are reluctant to approve or cover fully autonomous radiology models. Third, even when they do diagnose accurately, models replace only a small share of a radiologist’s job. Human radiologists spend a minority of their time on diagnostics and the majority on other activities, like talking to patients and fellow clinicians.

Thank goodness vet reception areas have been rescued from that horrible cacophony dogs and cats famously hate more than anything: human receptionists actually answering phones when people call
Fortune's reporter makes the following dubious claim: "Back in the Santa Monica clinic, as spaniels, doodles, and cats passed through, Eidelman and I talked in the waiting room, something possible only because the reception desks at Modern Animal are phoneless."

Woke up thinking about this classic quote from @authorjmac.bsky.social
The famous quote “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes,” with a picture of its source, Joanna Maciejewska. Photo of a print magazine

I noticed something strange about the version of Robocop this X user put inside the Cracker Barrel logo (It's true, see for yourself) x.com/ThisIsKodiak...
@ThisIsKodiak posted "The full 1987 film RoboCop rendered as the Cracker Barrel logo. Because nothing matters." I posted: "Why is there a weird edit at 1:28:35 that removes the scene where a robot calls for a human being to be fired?🤔"

Any military, that is. Not just the US

From a New York Times article about the IDF using AI: "The chatbot also sometimes provided wrong answers — for instance, returning photos of pipes instead of guns — two Israeli intelligence officers said. Even so, the A.I. tool significantly accelerated research and analysis, they said."

The popular app Citizen laid off 13 union workers. Now its AI is generating alerts, and uh, there are some issues: www.404media.co/citizen-is-u... (via @josephcox.bsky.social)
AI mistranslated “motor vehicle accident” to “murder vehicle accident.” It interpreted addresses incorrectly and published an incorrect location. It would add gory or sensitive details that violated Citizen’s guidelines, like saying “person shot in face” or including a person’s license plate details in an unconfirmed report.
