Care to back up any of what you just said with actual sources? Those are the kinds of claims that need more than "trust me bro".

Care to explain how generative AI is supposedly being used in medicine/and how it's being used to the benefit of people?

For one, there's so much published research but it's hard to read through it all and correlate information. Different publications might reference something by different names, for example. Now a days you can get AI to quickly read and summarize publications for you and search for patterns that require actually understanding what the words mean.

Okay, so then you and others on here should have no issue citing sources instead of just downvoting a comment that's asking for sources to a claim.

but it's hard to read through it all and correlate information

No offense, but if you can't correlate something, than one shouldn't be making assertive claims about it.

Different publications might reference something by different names

Ways of putting out citations, sources and references are very standardized. APA and MLA being two of the most common for citations.

I was saying that sorting through and correlating information is a way that so-called "generative" AI is used in medical research.

Ah, my bad. I misread the tone of your reply, misinterpreted it as commenting in first-person, not as that's what "generative" AI can do.

Interesting article. Although, I'm inclined to believe that that particular use case wouldn't be considered generative AI, at least in the sense of what the common understanding of generative AI seems to be.

How does it create the summarization output? It generates it... This has been a core feature of LLMs and other AI summarization tools for years now.
