@atax1a one rather important distinction that is often lost at reporters (as part of the general public) is whether we're dealing with ML or with LLM. I've seen my share of absolute bonkers implementation of, well, anything, but I have a hard time believing f'ing LLM's entered the operating theatre.

I'm not decided on whether I prefer to die because of an ML model going off the rails, or an old fashioned coding error like the infamous Therac-25. I've seen code for medical software and I'm not optimistic either way.

Frankly, I prefer doctors who don't Google my symptoms during a GP visit, but I'm afraid that is an art that's dying out.
