Let’s imagine the possibilities and theoretically demo the results based on current knowledge:

  1. yes AI made the process fast and the patient did not die unnecessarily.

  2. same but the patient died well.

  3. same but the patient died.

  4. same as either 1, 2, or 3 but AI made things slower.

Demo:

Pharmacy: Patient requires amoxicillin for a painful infection of the ear while allergic to penicillin:

AI: Sure! You will find penicillin in Isle 23 box number 5.

Pharmacy: the patient needs amoxicillin actually.

AI: Sure! The Patient must have an allergic reaction to more commonly used anti inflammatory medications.

Pharmacy: actually amoxicillin is more of an antibiotic, where can I find it?

AI: Sure! While you are correct that amoxicillin is an antibiotic, it is a well studied result that after an infection inflammation is reduced. You can find the inflammation through out the body including the region where the infection is located.

Pharmacy: amoxicillin location!

AI: Sure! Amoxicillin was invented in Beecham Research Laboratories.

    What baffles me is why would you use an LLM when what you need is a digital inventory manager. Not bashing your argument’s merits. On the contrary, I think it depicts very well how people will shove AI-marketed shit on already-solved problems and make everyone’s lives worse because it’s ✨modern✨.

      It’s the same crap like with blockchain.

      People have no idea how sophisticated modern IT systems already are, and if you glue fancy words on solved problems, people will cheer you for being super innovative.

      My question is: is it being used for inventory management? Or is it being used to feed the entire patient file in to make sure the Pharmacist doesn’t make a mistake as well. Double checking for conflict in the prescription interactions and stuff like that.

      Should it be relied as the only thing? No. Is it nice to have another set of eyes on every task? Probably? Could this be solved with the hiring of more pharmacy techs and an education system not driven by profit margins for the investors that actually facilitates the workforce’s technical skills? Yes.

      Idk. Just sounds like shitty companies being shitty companies all the way down.

        Further to this, to human is top err - so why would you start to rely on something that’s confidently incorrect so often.

        It’s only a matter of time before this misleads someone terribly
