People are generally just talking about large language models here artificial general intelligence is the real game changer
Some light reading for any true believers out there… https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/technology/chatgpt-ai-chatbots-conspiracies.html
Very thirsty this AI... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8gy7lv448o A single AI query - for example, a request to ChatGPT - can use about as much water as a small bottle you'd buy from the corner shop. Multiply that by billions of queries a day, and the scale becomes clear.
Yup the power needed to run even simple gpt queries is astounding You can run local models on your own machine but you quickly realise, without cloud computing, using dozens of gpus at once, you cant do much Its crazy crazy amounts of energy

Can anyone remember the thread where Paul McShane was posted with a picture of him when we conceded a goal? Don’t think it was this forum.
My eye was drawn straight to the guy holding a ball in front of his eye but for some reason I thought nothing of it at first. Then when I read the inevitable payoff that it's all AI, I thought yeah of course, that'll be the software coming up with something that sort of looks right when you glance over it but totally doesn't when you think about it. It's interesting how easy it can be to trick our brains into accepting what we see at face value, particularly when we take in so much stuff all the time and don't always find time to think much about the things we're consuming.
If you look at the profile, some look more AI than others, but her recent helicopter trip was incredibly realistic...
First NHS AI-run physio clinic in England halves back-pain waiting list AI platform Flok Health to be rolled out to other NHS trusts but experts warn tech-based care could increase The first NHS AI-run physiotherapy clinic has halved the waiting list for back pain and musculoskeletal services, according to the NHS trust where the pilot has taken place. More than 2,500 patients living in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough were able to access Flok Health, a physiotherapy platform run by AI, over a 12-week period starting in February. The platform, which was created using video footage of a human physiotherapist, provides same-day automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist via an app that responds to information given by a patient in real time. When the clinic was first launched in Cambridgeshire, waiting times for elective community musculoskeletal (MSK) services in the region were about 18 weeks. The waiting times for all MSK conditions decreased by 44% over the course of the 12-week period due to the use of Flok combined with other initiatives such as community assessment days, according to Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS trust (CCS), which deployed the services in those areas of England. Regarding back pain, the Flok AI clinic alone reduced waiting lists for the condition by 55% and saved 856 hours of clinician time a month, according to the company. “Seeing the impact our service has had in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, which is also where our team lives and works, has been incredibly meaningful,” said Finn Stevenson, the co-founder and chief executive of Flok Health. Anna-Marie Cooper, from Cambridge, had a positive experience using Flok despite being initially sceptical when she was referred to the AI physio for her back pain. “I have used private physiotherapy services in the past, but I found my experience with the AI physio as good as, if not better than any care I’ve received before,” she said. “Flok’s service was so intuitive, and having the flexibility to schedule and rearrange appointments whenever I wanted really suited me.” But the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) said that although AI holds great potential for the future of healthcare treatments, it was concerned about widening health inequalities for other patients who couldn’t or didn’t want to access physiotherapy care via an app. John Cowman, the chief executive of the CSP, said: “When tackling the problem of waiting times, it is important to address the root causes, one of which is the recruitment freezes currently stopping graduate physiotherapists from finding work in the NHS. We have a workforce ready to provide proven, safe care which will help cut waiting times and ensure people get the appointments they “AI will certainly play an increasing role in healthcare in the coming years as a tool to support services, but should be run in conjunction with increasing the physiotherapy workforce.” The AI-clinic is due to be rolled out across more NHS trusts across England, according to Flok Health. Mike Passfield, the deputy director from Cambridge Community Services NHS trust, said: “We’re proud to have been the first NHS organisation in England to deploy Flok Health’s AI-powered physiotherapy clinic at scale. “This pilot has demonstrated how innovation, when safely and thoughtfully integrated into NHS pathways, can dramatically improve access, outcomes and patient experience. We look forward to working with Flok to explore how this service can be scaled across our region to benefit even more people.”
It's all well and good reducing the time to see someone/something but are they actually fixing anybody?
Where's that taken from? If it's all taken at face value it sounds very promising, but some of it seems hard to believe. The woman gushing about how great this AI company is, and saying the care was better than that given by a real person. When I got to that point I started wondering if I was reading the company's own promotional material, but then further down it gets more balanced so I'm curious where this is from.
i reckon a lot of people who need physio can be self treated at home following exercises, so im guessing in this way, it frees up a lot of hours now how is it determined if it does need actual in person care though?
