This is a framing error, NYT. It's different technologies. Chatbots are not the same as the machine learning involved in reading scans (better defined inputs, clearer evaluation of outputs). Calling both AI is like conflating bombs dropped from planes with cars, because they both involve explosions.

From the NYT Evening newsletter, headline reads "A.I. bots are often wrong, but they're set to reshape medicine". Highlighted text reads: "A new study published today found that A.I. chatbots were no better than Google at guiding users towards correct or helpful health advice. The technology sometimes presented false information or dramatically changed its advice depending on slight changes in the wording of the question. But A.I. has already proved quite good at other tasks, like at reading scans and images - better than many doctor, in fact."

"[ @mmitchell.bsky.social ] notes that discourse sometimes conflates AI that supplements people with AI that supplants them. 'You can’t have the benefits of both and the drawbacks of neither,' she says."

"It strikes me as odd that some leaders think that #AI can be so brilliant that it will solve the world’s problems, using solutions we didn't think of, but not so brilliant that it can’t escape whatever control constraints we think of.” @MMitchell.bsky.social time.com/7267797/ai-...
