The first use of artificial intelligence to support a neurosurgeon in real time during live surgery has protected the sight of a man having a brain tumour removed, in a UCL-UCLH collaboration.
But did you double check what it generated about the sources? These LLMs are vastly prone to lying about things. Which is why I feel like they’re nearly completely useless.
If I have to treat everything it says as a lie, especially if it won’t source or substantiate its claims, then what good is it? If I have to manually verify everything, I may as well look it up myself.
Ah, but that’s just it. You can make it source and cite its claims, with deeplinks, and you simply don’t believe anything it said that wasn’t supported by the sources that it collected and presented to you.
But Jesus Christ my dude, the article we’re talking about is about this technology, machine learning, saving a man’s sight during surgery. And what are people doing? Saying how much they hate “AI”, but not this because it’s machine learning which is somehow different than AI 🌈
I doubt the surgeon would say it’s useless. I doubt the guy who can still see would say it’s useless.
