This conversation is getting interesting - and getting close to the motivations behind creating DrEliza.com. There, it has become "incompetent" to logically analyze illnesses, because there are numerous valid cause-and-effect relationships that have been falsely "proven" not to exist. Any doctor acting fully rationally would lose his license - and I can supply specific names to back this up.
However, no one can take away Dr. Eliza's license, because it is a computer program. Like Google proffering all sorts of negative information in response to queries and claiming it to just be the results of their algorithm (which could easily be fixed), Dr. Eliza can be openly "incompetent" without problem. For example, there is a bullshit paid-for study supposedly showing that body temperature is irrelevant, which every doctor is shown in medical school. So, anyone who says otherwise is a "quack". As a result, Dr. Denis Wilson is now listed on QuackWatch.org for just this reason. However, Dr. Eliza knows all about body temperature, and proffers this information as appropriate. I suspect that in the near future, computers will "own" the treatment of chronic illnesses, because competing warm-blooded doctors would lose their licenses. Perhaps the same will happen in society - where a politically correct agent will eventually supplant Facebook as a source of conversation?!!!

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
