AI company: we trained this dog to talk. It doesn’t actually understand language, but it kinda sounds like it’s having a conversation by mimicking the sound of human speech. CEO: awesome, I’ve fired my entire staff, how quickly can it start diagnosing medical disorders - ThreadSky

I almost forgot I drew the first one. As a bonus, here also is a Heathcliff parody, called " HealthCliff"

I told my org that any data consumed by AI would be the product of systemic bias and was told they could correct for it 🤦‍♀️

I am still waiting for a single example of that, that isn't based on gen AI flood spamming. Are train tickets cheaper because they use AI now and kicked out a bunch of people? I dont think so.

Right, like I love the possibilities that AI gives us but there's a lot of folks out here that are ready to try to use it either A) way before it's at the point of doing what they want it to do or B) want it to do things it's absolutely not capable of doing.

Medical diagnosis is unfortunately something AI actually excels at. Excel being the operative word, it can look at a spreadsheet where a doctor will just tell you to lose/gain weight.
