I agree with you for some kinds of images, but not all.
LLMs are the best PDF-to-markdown converters, in my experience. I have a CLI that converts PDF to PNG, then run a background agent to "read" each PNG and write it down as markdown; it works flawlessly even for complex math formulas, it can "translate" complex charts, graphs, and tables into words.
It's slow and arguably expensive compared to traditional OCR, but very effective and precise.
That study seems to be confounding factors and rushing to a questionable conclusion.
A very plausible explanation for the adenoma detection rate to have gone down is simply that its prevalence went down among the population in the second three-month period.
This was not a randomized trial. Concluding that "AI usage degrades physicians' skills" is questionable at the very least.
I think this is analogous to diseases and vaccines. You don't immunize a child by exposing it to the pathogen, but to a modified version of it that poses no threat to their health, but still allows their immune system to recognize and produce anti bodies.
The same applies to teaching "street smarts" to kids. You don't do it by throwing them in a hostile environment where they'll be prey to hostile people without having any defenses built up first.
Edit: if I had to bet (don't know any research), schools nowadays are the main producers of intolerance, with the indoctrination and teaching kids to only respect civil discourse, ideas and opinions if they agree with the mainstream world model.
Can they know the SIM location precisely? I believe they can only triangulate multiple towers to determine a radius. If they could pinpoint a specific, narrow location, it'd be easier to spot unusual concentration.
Have you considered how many people committed suicide because of SBF? Or how many people won't be able to pay for medical care, will suffer, and eventually die?
It's impossible to knoe the number, but it's arguably non-zero.
He should have gotten the 40 years prosecution was asking.
I have the impression you think that it's OK for humans to learn upon other people's work and then create their own, but it's not OK for machines to do that. Am I right?
I don't think this position will lead to good outcomes in terms of progress for civilization.
