FWIW - This seems to not be LLM but rather ML.

Some years ago I did work rating robot surgery videos on amazon mturk for 25 cents each, despite having basically no idea what I was looking at, can't help but wonder if any of that got used to train this sort of AI

This kind of work now pays hundreds per hour. They verify credentials of course.

Directly from the linked article:

So, an algorithm.

so basically facial recognition but for diseased tissue pre-ai era.

Yes?
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 0 pts · 191d
So, not AI?

Yeah, but chatgpt isn't a medical device. It's just general purpose

The article is primarily about one particular machine learning powered device that is making a lot of mistakes. It explicitly includes the above paragraphs to explain that it's not talking about LLMs for the most part (though it does start to mention their increasing use later)
