After that, a "nurse" finally replied... with a clearly AI-generated answer that assumed she might be living across the country (never mind where the doctor's office is) and still didn't answer the question. After that, she gave up and decided to wait for her annual physical to ask her doctor in person.

@farseen@fedi.nptr.xyz @celesteh@hachyderm.io @knowprose@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social As a result of the doctor's office's LLM usage, she'll be getting whichever vaccines she needs later than she otherwise would. If this kind of thing is becoming the norm, more people will die as a result of people waiting longer to get vaccines or not getting them at all, just because the doctor's office group decided to be "efficient" by using LLMs to answer patient questions. 🧵 (8/9)
