That article doesn't mention a service that was open to users (not to mention the point of the article is that AI had fewer false positives and false negatives than doctors, which would invalidate the premise of this argument). But if you want to apply the same logic to ChatGPT, then even if it's true that misdiagnoses are leading to skipped doctor's visits, it's still unlikely that anyone has died yet from that lack of preventive care. ChatGPT launched a few months ago, and it's unlikely anyone in a late stage of cancer would have prevented their death if they went to the doctor instead of asking ChatGPT over the past few months. So for anyone affected by a ChatGPT misdiagnosis, it will take some time for the cancer to kill them. And note that it is the cancer that will kill them, not the AI.

On the other hand, a "self-driving car" driving into a tree and killing its occupants seems an obviously more direct case of death by AI than a user asking an AI if it has cancer and the AI saying no. And if you want to make the argument that Tesla drivers are supposed to have their hands on the wheel, then you have to also make the argument that ChatGPT users aren't supposed to use it for medical advice.

So? Most AI isn't. It's not all consumer products.

I can say that about Tesla FSD.

Press release overconfidence works both ways.

> So? Most AI isn't. It's not all consumer products.

You are moving the goal posts. Your argument was that non-Tesla AI has killed its users. There were no users of the service mentioned in the article, ergo none of them could have been killed by it.

> I can say that about Tesla FSD.

The difference is that Tesla FSD is actively used, and its false negatives and positives have actually killed people.

My argument was never that AI will not eventually kill people. It was that so far, Tesla AI has directly killed more people than any other AI.

Nah, you're moving them.

> Yes. Elon Musk has killed more people with his AI than anyone else has with theirs.

That's "people" not "users".

Yes, I'm talking about events that have actually happened. You're talking about hypothetical future deaths.

I don't disagree that eventually, AI will lead to both direct and indirect deaths. But so far, the only direct deaths from AI have been from Tesla AI.

I'm not in the medical field obviously but isn't "detection" different from "diagnosis"? Meaning detection alone does not provide a diagnosis.
