    I do have a tech background in addition to being a medical student and it really drives me bonkers that we’re calling these overgrown algorithms “AI”. The generative AI models I suppose are a little closer to earning the definition as they are black-box programs that develop themselves to a certain extent, but all of the reputable “AI” programs used in science and medicine are very carefully curated algorithms with specific rules and parameters that they follow.
