Using AI for anomaly detection is nothing new though. Haven't read any article about this specific 'discovery' but usually this uses a completely different technique than the AI that comes to mind when people think of AI these days.

That's why I hate the term AI. Say it is a predictive llm or a pattern recognition model.

Say it is a predictive llm

According to the paper cited by the article OP posted, there is no LLM in the model. If I read it correctly, the paper says that it uses PyTorch's implementation of ResNet18, a deep convolutional neural network that isn't specifically designed to work on text. So this term would be inaccurate.

or a pattern recognition model.

Much better term IMO, especially since it uses a convolutional network. But since the article is a news publication, not a serious academic paper, the author knows the term "AI" gets clicks and positive impressions (which is what their job actually is) and we wouldn't be here talking about it.

That performance curve seems terrible for any practical use.

Yeah that's an unacceptably low ROC curve for a medical usecase
