alt Hacker NewsOK, so everyone in the replies is saying "yeah duh", but a few years ago people used to defend the negative externalities of LLM's by pointing to medical applications and saying "but think of how useful they would be for doing a cancer diagnosis"

I think at least a few of the replies including mine are saying this is a pretty meaningless over hyped demonstration because the cnn was fine tuned on the same dataset it was tested on and the actual way the eval was structured and run is nonsensical. It's basically just slop research designed to create a fun attention grabbing headline (ironically one that trashes llms).
There are some cases where that is still the case - medical diagnosis where you have a lot of text information that you can pass in can be pretty mindblowing with LLMs. If it's text inputs, it's going to be pretty darn good with an LLM. If not, probably not.
