    I mean I hate AI in general… but to be honest… assuming no one is stupid enough to bypass the trials etc… I’m all for it, 90% of these problems already exist in the existing system, who owns it, can a corporation charge us to death.

    The only reasonable fear is, if they come out with more than they can develop trials for, and they lobby to lower standards in trials. Even that honestly is a more acceptable risk in the context of terminal diseases/severe cancers.

          and it’s still a better system than anyone hired by RFK Jr manually reviewing the file.

          Which is kind of the point, idea fully agreed there’s a lot of risks and messed up stuff, but almost all of it, is at worse roughly equal to the already existing problems in our systems… I can’t quite think of any that are made worse.
