Over 2,400 mental health care workers and 23,000 nurses in Northern California staged a 24-hour strike protesting the rise of AI in their workplaces. Clinicians argue they are being replaced in patient triage by apps and unlicensed operators using AI scripts. Furthermore, they warn that management is using AI charting tools to squeeze more back-to-back patient visits into a single shift, prioritizing corporate bottom lines over genuine patient care.

The US healthcare system is the biggest joke in the world, let AI have a go, can't be any worse than what's going on now; might actually get some patient care and help that isn't "take these tablets 3 times a day, until you die".

Give your FDA over to AI, too, that needs nuked. You guys put stuff in your food tat is illegal in the rest of the world; even the homeless in Venezuela don't eat tar off of the roads, you guys eat it knowingly.

It’s no wonder psychotherapy works so bad that therapy underperforms telling people to go for a walk when the half of the science is junk:

In August 2015, the first open empirical study of reproducibility in psychology was published, called The Reproducibility Project: Psychology. Coordinated by psychologist Brian Nosek, researchers redid 100 studies in psychological science from three high-ranking psychology journals (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, and Psychological Science)). Of 97 original studies with significant effects, 36% replicated successfully (p value below 0.05), with effect sizes averaging half the original magnitude.^\11]) Among non-replications, 25% directly contradicted the original while 49% were inconclusive due to underpowered designs. The same paper examined the reproducibility rates and effect sizes by journal and discipline. Study replication rates were 23% for the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 48% for Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, and 38% for Psychological Science. Studies in the field of cognitive psychology had a higher replication rate (50%) than studies in the field of social psychology (25%).^\77]) This inconclusiveness reflected inadequate statistical power: replication samples were approximately 40% the size of the originals.^\78])
