I apologize for the.abrasive comments in the thread but it really grinds my gears when people think they can argue with someone who has been shit deep in experience while they have zero empirical rhetoric on the topic. My entire point has been that it isn't a case of rich getting richer while their employees drown in the weeds. It's a broken system top to bottom that cannot provide adequate compensation for a job that requires minimal training regardless of how mosserable the work is. A broken system designed and regulated by our broken government.

That's awesome that AI is helping reduce the stress for the industry for the boots on the ground employees. However it'd be better news to find we are using AI to expose the actual cost to revenue gaps being negotiated between the pharmaceutical players and the health insurance players. Equally as encouraging would be using AI to fix our broken Medicare/Medicaid system that leave people out to dry once an arbitrary limit is reached.

I spent most my years in the industry working in the dementia and alzheimer units. If we had little fuckin AI bots to give residents to engage with, it would've been a godsend. I fuckin hated when a resident would still have lingering brief moments of lucidity and look right at you with this look of fear and confusion. In that moment of lucidity they remember things from their old life but won't have a lock of a clue who I was or any of the hundreds of daily interactions I would have with them when they weren't lucid. We were taught and I think it's still S.O.P. to avoid correcting dimential/alz residents and to instead redirect their attention to something that will relax them. AI would be fuckin amazing for that. Helping the aids is fine a dandy but at the end of the day, the most help ypu could provide an aide is a tool that would help the residents enjoy life again and not hate that they need help and take it out on staff.
