I was going to say...
Even just properly identifying the gallbladder in a human body is incredibly impressive. But that's not what happened.
Like, they performed a "crucial part" of a gallbladder removal operation on gallbladders that had already been removed from the human body?
Did it tie a bow on it and light a candle?
Like most shit about AI, it sounds super impressive if you don't know what's happening...
It seems logical they would test it on extracted gall bladders first. Finding a gall bladder during surgery seems far from an insurmountable task for AI.
The article doesn't mention AI, but only a "framework" basically for moving.
Are you one of those who thinks "AI" will just solve lots of stuff?
A cholecystectomy is removing a gall bladder...
So how crucial could a step be on the gall bladder after it was removed?
They're not removing healthy ones for transplants, it's something done on literal medical waste.
It is incredibly difficult...
There is a shit ton of human variation, shits just crammed wherever and it all pretty much looks the same. We still beat AI by selecting traffic lights in a picture....
Analyzing a scan? Yeah, that's AI all day.
Real life? A human will keep winning for decades.
