    In 51.6% of cases where someone needed to go to the hospital immediately, the platform said stay home or book a routine medical appointment

    So it performs slightly worse than a coin flip…

    In one of the simulations, eight times out of 10 (84%), the platform sent a suffocating woman to a future appointment she would not live to see

    Holy shit! That’s a lot worse than a coin flip.

    Meanwhile, 64.8% of completely safe individuals were told to seek immediate medical care

    And there are real people out there that actually trust this tech to make real decisions for them. It literally performs significantly worse than a coin flip both with regards to false positives and false negatives. You are literally better off flipping a coin or throwing a dice than asking this thing what to do.

      It is truly horrifying when you drill into the numbers.

      I can see that it MIGHT be useful as a tool for medical professionals, but exposing it to the public is an insane risk.
