    Lol, I’m from a country with healthcare so I just go to the doctor and my X-ray is free. Parking is also redeemable because of my job!

    Jokes aside, as much as I hate AI slop this could actually be a freaking awesome use for pattern recognition that might actually improve healthcare.

    But, I’m a US American so for us it costs a stupid amount of money to GET the X-Ray after waiting for an appointment, and then you play one-way phone tag waiting another month(s) for the analysis of the x-ray.

    (Bonus points if you wait 6 months and pay $150-whatever for “I dunno looks fine to me.”)

    I dunno in a functioning society with a decent doctor:patient ratio (is there such a thing?) maybe this wouldn’t be necessary, but over here for most things we’re practically on our own anyway so the more DIY options the better.

    Shout-out to urgent cares though. If you actually broke something they usually get you scanned and remedied pretty fast. I had a thoroughly good ouch-I-think-my-toe-broke (it did) experience with urgent care.

      Yeah AI (not necessarily LLMs though) have been used to great effect for medical uses like that. It’s a shame how most of the good work coming out of the AI/ML field gets overshadowed by LLMs

      Global problem probably.

      Here in Eastern Europe if you have the money you go to private clinics and for the most part you will get the care you need but even in paid ones the good doctors have pretty long wait times. And you’re paying ~100 eur for 1 consultation.

    Ok, if anyone actually breaks their hand, take a picture and do this, cause it would be pretty funny if they make an X-ray that actually looks busted.

      I have an old xray from when I splintered my ulna (forarm). I’m torn, a part of me wants to see what happens, but a bigger part of me wants to never upload anything medical related to these platforms

        I think it probably would identify a break when you provide the x ray to it.

        What I want to see is if you take a normal picture of a broken arm or hand or finger or whatever and ask it for an x ray, if it’s fake x-ray image it gives you will show a broken bone.

    I can get similar results without the ethical fallout of using AI just by holding my hand up to the sun.

    So uh… something weird happened… I asked it to take an xray of my hand and it… returned this image…

    Which is clearly wrong. It must be the reason why everyone says it generates low quality slop… right? Haha… ha…

        Someone needs to tell me how a quote and a scare quote differ and what the point of the latter term is

          Scare quotes are used derogatorily. They can often be preceded with the term “so-called”. Like so-called “doctors” will rip you off with their so-called “x-rays”, when ChatGPT will do it for free.

          When spoken aloud, scare quotes are indicated by the speaker making bouncing bunny ears with their middle and forefingers.

            That makes sense, but I think some people misuse that term and just think it’s a fun way to say quotes.

              Yes. I believe I’ve seen some people say “scare quotes” to refer to actual quotations which are highlighted specifically because they are alarming. Which is understandable, I guess.

              Hmmm, I haven’t noticed the term being misused frequently. It wasn’t in this case; chunes correctly identified the scare quotes in the OP

                Yes I’m not saying it was used wrong here. “So called” is how I’ll try to think of it in the future. Thanks for putting it that way

      Maybe, but I read it as emphatic scare quotes

      Either they really don’t trust doctors, or they’re trying to be clear this is satire

    Wow I did the same 2 days ago and it’s incredible how my hand xray is identical (not similar) to the one of the guy who posted this!1!

    Won’t post post mine for privacy reasons

        An instance of Poe’s law.

        And in full disclosure, I had actually forgotten the name of that and had to look it up, which from an outside perspective might also look like an instance of it.

      I always assume the person with the Super Mario World cartoon series avatar is joking in any situation. It saves a lot of stress.

        Blue check mark means the user already drank the kool-aid. No reason to assume they wouldn’t go back for a refill.

            Tell me there’s a difference

            (Excepting the existential realization that the stupider a person is, the more easily they’re used as a tool, of course, and keeping them in line and on track is often simpler than tech solutions.)
