Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

People are going to die I guarantee it
I don't think they're going to die since it's only for acne. But to be fair, that headline is atrocious and meant to click bait everyone.
But hospital execs are gonna go "see it worked for acne, let's try other stuff."
I have my doubts it will work for acne. But, this is the plan.
I have my doubts too but that hasn't stopped executives from making the AI sound more impressive than it actually is and pushing forward with implementing AI where it definitely should not go.
☝️ This.
There are acne medications that are extremely dangerous. IDK if this clanker would be allowed to prescribe accutane, but that’s something that absolutely requires careful monitoring.
Yeah Accutane requires regular blood tests to make sure it's not killing you. Probably not great to prescribe without a real doctor.
There's also that pesky black box warning about how it increases the risk of suicidal ideation.
I can absolutely imagine this ignoring a carcinoma that no human doctor would have.
It's for acne, for now.
Sterility then? Acne drugs are well known to impact fertility
Undertaker lobby: "This is good for business."
Death is great for the insurance industry, people dying of easily treated, but expensive procedures will equal bigger bonuses and high yields for investors.
Utah is largely Republican.
Please proceed
mormon republican too. dont worry they want a gigantic AI DATANCENTER in utah to provide all the processes for the AI.
you have a broken leg, the AI prescribes several opiods, and chemo drugs for you. take twice a day for 2 weeks.
or it gets the care wrong, you have broken leg" remove left kidney."
Sadly, I think you're right.
Somebody only read the headline and jumped straight to comments.
Doctors are so bad here, i bet as first contact AI performs better than those self prescribing money sucking meth junkies in white.
Just ask your average pharmacist who cross checks prescriptions.
Wait till they take away pharmacist saying as AI doesn't do any mistake we don't need anyone to check. Cost saving to the max, no overhead.
