The human brain can hold much more than 9 things and even though AI will be used in medicine broadly very soon, I really want the final diagnosis done by a human.
Once true AGI arrieves, I might change my opinion, but that might take a while.
We have been hearing this since forever.
Revolutions do happen but not the way we expect. My anecdotical experience: no one in my team of about 30 people developing SW uses ChatGPT or similar in their day to day. This may change, or not.
Granted, currently deployed systems are mostly awful, way behind the state of the art, and therefore mostly useless. Maybe it's because designing medical devices and getting them approved takes so long. Maybe it's because the manufacturers put AI in there for marketing purposes only, while assuming nobody will use the suggestiona anyway. In any case, I strongly expect the trend to continue and these systems to become very useful quite soon.
Try writing a number from one piece of paper to another. If it's more than 7-9 numbers, you won't do it in one shot, unless you spend extra time memorizing it.
I’m proficient at math, but my working memory is around 6, so I cannot add two three digit numbers to each other in my head (unless I see numbers to be added in front of me).
I will. As another commenter says, the brain isn't limited to 9 things at all. There's no way that I'll trust the diagnosis of a machine that won't understand me.
If a doctor uses AI to help with research, that would be OK. Just so long as the doctor is actually the one doing the diagnosis and prescribing the treatment.
