AI has been a bit weird as of late. It has been used to generate naff images, play Doom, and build the loneliest social media app out there. A potentially great but also potentially worrying use of generative AI has been spotted with General Practitioners (GPs) across the UK, suggesting up to 20% could be using it as part of their practice.
As spotted by ScienceDaily, a paper titled "Generative artificial intelligence in primary care: an online survey of UK general practitioners" has recently polled Doctors.net.uk—an online forum and database for GPs across the UK. Of the 1,006 polled, 205 (20%) reported "using generative AI tools in clinical practice".
