So it performs slightly worse than a coin flip...
Holy shit! That's a lot worse than a coin flip.
And there are real people out there that actually trust this tech to make real decisions for them. It literally performs significantly worse than a coin flip both with regards to false positives and false negatives. You are literally better off flipping a coin or throwing a dice than asking this thing what to do.
Even better than a coin flip is asking this what to do then doing the opposite!
You're even better off by doing the opposite of what chatgpt tells you to do.
It is truly horrifying when you drill into the numbers.
I can see that it MIGHT be useful as a tool for medical professionals, but exposing it to the public is an insane risk.
they'll never be regulated because fascists love the mass surveillance. who cares about false positives--number of people bagged goes up either way
