  • Is it open source? (No)
  • Is it's publishing and build pipeline open? (No)
  • Can anyone audit it? (No)
  • Does the author make unreliable claims of privacy? (Yes)
  • Does the author detail how data privacy and security is implemented? (No)

It's probably not a honeypot. But it's also likely to be negligent enough in implementation that it might as well be.

Lol, called it.

Incompetence and false bravado is all but guaranteed with development teams. Especially when it's closed source, not audited, and has minimal room for feedback loops.

Had to use gett when I visited Tel Aviv a few years back. That's about it

The non-technical public is scared of the word "AI". When it has a whole spectrum of meanings and implications.

AI has been in use in medicine, engineering, municipal infrastructure....etc long before LLMs/GenAI.

Even new products today (Like those assistive exoskeleton legs) use (non LLM) AI to interpret and extrapolate bodily functions l. And wouldn't work without it.

It's closed source, and the build and publishing pipeline isn't transparent.

For me that makes this no different than a potential ICE honey pot

I recently watched cable television at a hotel.

Honestly, appalled. The ad segments are, as an aggregate, SHORTER than YouTube.

How tf did we get to this point, media fragmented across 20 different streaming services that want $10-$25/m to see their Alice of the media you're interested in.

Shits ridiculous

So .... Human trafficking?

Only if you don't have the critical thinking to understand how information management is a significant problem and barrier to medical care.

Being able to research and find material relevant to a patient's problem is an arduous task that often is too high a barrier for doctors to invest in given their regular workloads.

Which leads to a reduction in effective care.

By providing a more efficient and effective way to dig up information that saves a ton of time and improves care.

It's still up to the doctor to evaluate that information, but now they're not slogging away trying to find it.

It's already in use responsibly.

And irresponsibly.

Turns out that you can't really argue the slope of responsibility as a way to shoot down a tool, when that's an individual choice of how someone uses that tool.

I love seeing these outside views from folks who aren't developers 🤣

Gen AI is pretty well integrated into development pipelines at this point. In ways that are subtle and quite useful.

Especially autocomplete as you write code, and boiler plate autofill. These used genai, are subtle and not necessarily intrusive, and are pretty widely integrated across the development ecosystem.

Like everything the poison makes the dose. The larger the dose of genai the more poison you are introducing into your work.

Your arguing with someone who's head is far too deep in their own ass to actually understand what you're saying.

It's frustrating, very frustrating, that this is the lowest common denominator on the Internet today. And it's only getting worse as kids grow up under the thumb of their corporate spoon fed news feeds.
