this is true, it is hugely unsurprising that studies find that applying ai improves healthcare, since every study that applies any kind of rigor to healthcare (including incredibly dumb expert systems in the 80s just reminding doctors and nurses of really obvious stuff) tend to improve it. healthcare is extremely resistant to improvement though, and it is not even an american thing.

AI is a tool. it requires a skilled user to apply it, it doesn’t replace skill. if a doctor plugs in a set of symptoms and the software gives a list of possible conditions, it takes skill to determine which ones are really relevant in this case.

that’s basic process controls straight out of the 80s and most providers don’t bother with it. it’s why you end up with massively inconsistent outcomes

AI typically beats humans at all decision tasks, especially ones that require knowledge or skill. Not because AI is good, but because humans are really, really bad.

We have cognitive biases that make us systematically wrong and far less knowledge than we believe (as we conflate access to knowledge, i.e., Google, with possessing that same knowledge). Add to that that we perceive what we expect, not what we see. We don't believe that we suck because of hindsight bias, Texas sharpshooter effect and survivorship bias all causing us to think we make better decisions than we do.

Groups of people almost always beat individuals; the cognitive biases average out and it is more likely that "obviously correct in hindsight" answers are picked since more people can provide answers. AI still have biases but typically to much less of a degree than individuals, and they are scored on both their correct and incorrect decisions.

when i got titanfall 2 it was 65 gigs and i was like what the gently caress, this is just an fps, what's going on? so i looked it up and it turns out that about 35gb of that is multiple copies of uncompressed audio files for the entire game in every language version. multiple copies because of disc access, uncompressed because the xbox 360 didn't have enough power to devote a whole thread to decompressing audio in real time, and they carried those two limitations to every other version
