In med school I bought a $15 noise machine to drown out the sirens and helicopters of Washington Heights. It worked. Or at least I thought it did. A new study suggests it may have been making things worse. 🧵 (1/13)

On tonight's All Things Considered on NPR, I discuss patients' use of AI for health. While there are risks, many patients benefit. Overall, I favor tools that guide patients through their symptoms (with iterative Q's & A's) rather than general tools like GPT or Gemini. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

The benefits of AI in health care outweigh potential hazards, many experts say

ChatGPT Health is OpenAI's foray into medicine, and so far, it gets high marks from both a cancer patient and a leading doctor. But there are worries it could be misused.

OpenEvidence has revenue of $50 million. But investors value it at $6.1 BILLION. So… a couple of questions for the “AI won’t replace doctors!” crowd: What do you think OE’s long-term monetization pathway looks like? And what do investors expect to happen that could justify this valuation?

IMO this is the best argument for robust benchmarks. We have no way of studying new models other than as if they were natural phenomena. Clinical trials are incredibly important -- but with this rate of change so is benchmarking for the foreseeable future.

I really wish there was more interest in benchmarking AI models on real tasks. The fact that there are not 30 different benchmarks from different organizations in medicine, in law, in advice quality, etc. is a big shame. People are using systems for these things anyway & we don’t know implications.
